Hadleigh Pool and Leisure

Introduction

IMPORTANT Customer Notice

Pool Closure

Due to the current refurbishment programme at Hadleigh Pool and Leisure, we will be closing the pool for 14 weeks to allow the new pool to be connected to the plant room and a link corridor between the buildings to be constructed. It is not possible to have the current pool open during these works. We do understand that any closure can be a challenge for customers, so we have put a number of measures in place to keep disruption to a minimum.

The final day to swim will be Friday 20 March 2020 and we aim to open on Monday 6 July 2020.

The nearest alternative pool will be Kingfisher Leisure Centre – see the swimming timetable here

Swimming Members

Customers with a swimming membership will be able to use the pool at Kingfisher Leisure Centre, Bury, Newmarket or Haverhill Leisure Centres, subject to normal public swimming times, and can also upgrade their membership free of charge to a full centre membership, providing access to gym and fitness classes for three months.
Please email hadleighreception@acleisure.com for your complimentary upgrade.

Swim Academy Members

We will be offering a 30-minute dry side activity as a replacement for your swimming lesson on the same day & time.
The activity programme details will be displayed from 1 March.
Your monthly direct debit payment will automatically be reduced to £5 per month for April, May and June and will include one 30 minute session each week of dry side activity, plus free swimming at Kingfisher Leisure Centre, Sudbury. (please note your membership will automatically revert to this option unless we hear from you)

Continuing with your membership for Swim Academy will guarantee your place in Swim Academy when the new pool opens in July.
