Update: when they did re-open the pool, everyone just stood around looking at each other. No one wanted to be first.

Then some smashed brit just cannon balled...poo induced paralysis resolved!

I expect they'd poured a few bottles of Dettol in it...

The wife asked when it would re-open, which led me to Google.

Internet says a solid can be open as quick as 30 mins, a slopster upto 12 hrs.

Not sure how we landed on 3hrs. But it involved upping the chlorine for a period of time.

Let's see how i feel tomorrow.

Didn’t they just scoop it out with a big net at bev rd baths and carry on ???

Health and Safety Chazz. Its out of control.

They did scoop it out, I seen the scoop, not the brown fish! But then went through a 3hr charade.

The cynical side of me thinks they did it to punish to full English trothing brits. Who knows.

Not only still there, but they had a £4m renovation a few years back.

It was a stunning building and certainly left a deep impression in my mind as my memories are unbelievably clear from as long as 55 years ago.

I'll need to find time to visit them next time I'm down

I remember it well also - Albert Avenue pool as well, if that still exists.

Got swimming badges in both, trained by a very decent fella called Terry Glenville. Jack Hale, and his wife, were also trainers there in the late 1970s.

Jack Hale was a legend
I remember him just swimming up and down up and down in bev rd while chaos went on around him
He lived not far from me

Jack Hale taught me to swim and most kids on our estate. Nice guy.

Albert Ave also had a big refurbishment a couple of years back. Reopened the lido outside too

Albert Ave had an even bigger renovation, roughly £11m spent on it recently.

I used to go there for canoe training in the outside pool when I was at school.
