Pools on the Park’s winter opening hours have been extended to meet demand.
From Monday, February 5, the pool will be open from 6.30am to 11am, Monday to Friday, and from 7am to 2pm on Saturday and Sunday.
The council confirmed more staff have been hired to accommodate the new opening hours.
Councillor David Linnette, cabinet member for culture, sport and the voluntary sector said: “Pools on the Park is proving to be more popular than ever.
“With increased demand and popularity we have chosen to keep the outdoor pool open for longer and longer over the last few years.
“Responding to the growth in popularity of our outdoor pool we have recruited more staff so we are now able to open the pool more often over the winter period.
“Swimmers can now use the pool on weekday mornings and for even longer on weekends. I’m sure the decision to extend opening hours will be well received by all users of the pool.”
