AquaSplash is to shut its doors for two weeks later this month while a series of essential maintenance projects are carried out at the swimming centre.
The facility will close on Monday 30 November to allow its new owners to tackle a number of issues identified during its review of the site.
AquaSplash is now owned and directly managed by the government, having transitioned into its public Active leisure network on 1 October 2026.
The main project will involve replacing a critical electrical control panel in the plant room, which has reached the end of its operational life.
However, the work will go beyond the electrical system, with extensive plumbing work also planned, alongside the replacement of ageing pipework and the installation of a new water tank.
Fire alarm systems will also be upgraded as part of the maintenance programme.
Active said the maintenance projects formed part of its ongoing review of AquaSplash since taking responsibility for the facility, helping to identify where investment was needed to maintain safe and reliable services for customers.
The organisation added that carrying out the work would support the centre’s long-term operation and reduce the risk of unplanned disruptions in the future.
The centre is currently expected to reopen on Monday 14 December, although this date will depend on the successful completion of the works and could change.
In the meantime, Active is looking at increasing class programmes at its other facilities to accommodate members affected by the closure where possible.
Further details of those arrangements are expected to be announced in the coming weeks.
Members with questions about the closure or their membership are advised to contact Active directly.
