Glasgow Club Scotstoun pool set to reopen following two-year refurbishment closure

A reopening date has been set for a popular Glasgow swimming pool that has been closed for over two years.

Glasgow Club Scotstoun will be reopening on June 21 following the completion of £2.8 million renovation works.

The leisure facility was closed for an 'extended period' in January 2020 with the work expected to take around nine months to complete.

However, the impact of covid as well as the lack of material availability and delivery being felt worldwide at the time forced operators Glasgow Life to push the date back from early 2022 to early June.

Locals had previously expressed their frustration at the ongoing closure and lack of swimming pool in the community.

The latest update will include a new poolside health suite, more lockers and storage space, and a renovated changing village.

A statement posted by Glasgow Life explained: "The pool changing village will now have dedicated family and group changing areas as well as casual swim changing cubicles and Changing Places facilities.

"There are now a number of lockers accessible with a Glasgow Club RFID band and coin-operated lockers are still available for customers who prefer these. We’ll also have dedicated pram and buggy lockers for those visiting the pool with young ones.

"The venue’s pool depth has changed to allow for more swimming lessons, and those who were on the waiting list for Scotstoun should hear from our Learn to Swim coordinators in the coming weeks.

"Please note the health suite space has been repurposed as part of this refurbishment and these facilities are no longer available at Glasgow Club Scotstoun."
