Blantyre Leisure Centre will re-open next week after months of closure to allow for extensive renovations.
Both the swimming pool and health suite will open to the public on Monday, May 2, but those who use the nearby Hamilton Water Palace health suite will be disappointed to learn that it will remain closed for the forseeable.
Whilst the swimming pool and popular children's pirate ship facility at Hamilton is open to the public, the leisure facility will remain closed for the time being.
South Lanarkshire Leisure and Culture (SLLC) say the move is due to "work" required within the facility.
However, Lanarkshire Live understands SLLC are awaiting funding to carry out the improvement works there.
Meanwhile, back at Blantyre, swimming lessons will re-commence on Tuesday, May 3 with customers notified in the coming days.
Kay Morrison, general manager at SLLC, told us : “We are pleased to announce the swimming pool and health suite at Blantyre Leisure Centre will reopen on May 2, with the swimming-lesson programme restarting from May 3.

"All existing swimming-lesson customers will be contacted accordingly.
“The Hamilton Water Palace leisure pool unfortunately requires some further work, but the main pool is fully operational alongside the Pirate Ship.
“SLLC would like to thank our customers for their patience.”
Blantyre’s pool and health suite opening hours are: Mon-Thur 6.30am-10pm; Fri 6.30am-9.30pm; Sat 9am-5pm and Sun 9am-9pm.
