That is what is so sad. It was rebuilt about four years ago, the lady who ran it, and owned the company who rebuilt the pool, she never even used a stabiliser, the pool glistened. But it was hardly ever used, the people in this village seem to be not interested in swimming.
The pool and complex are owned by a really nice guy, mega rich. He is very friendly and I’ll have a chat to him next time I see him. There is a big group, including him and his wife, who have sing song in the restaurant most days.
The lady gave up and the couple there now just manage the pool and restaurant. It’s obviously loosing loads of money and I know they added a stabiliser a long time ago.
It opens at 7am and the same three or four oldies hold their morning meeting. The rest of the day it’s basically empty until a few children have their swimming lessons about 4pm. A dive school use the pool once or twice a week for a couple of hours during which time the pool is closed to others.
So when I go I am normally the only one in the pool and it is only about 50M from our house. If only they would manage the chemistry better. So I won’t use it again unless they take more care with the chemistry.
It’s a 20M pool with a separate pool for non swimmers and children. Everyone has to use a swimming hat, even those like me!
