‘New era’ welcomed for Ringmer Swimming Pool

Community representatives, swimming pool users and supporters, councillors and dignitaries came together on Saturday for the opening of Ringmer Swimming Pool.

Joyce Wiles and Angela Glaysher, who were part of the original fundraising team that saw the pool built in 1981, cut the ceremonial ribbon and continue to champion the value and benefits of the facility. Lewes District Council is now responsible for the operation of the pool with Wave Active running the facility day-to-day. 

Councillor Johnny Denis, Cabinet Member for Tourism and Leisure, said:

“It was wonderful to see Joyce and Angela officially open the pool and that so many other long-standing supporters joined us on such a great day for the Ringmer community - my thanks to everyone who made it possible.

“I appeal to everyone in Ringmer and surrounding towns and villages to come along and support this new era of swimming in the village. It’s going to need us all to sustain it so let’s make sure we are ambassadors for the pool and tell everyone to come along.”
