Levenmouth swimming pool shut due to ‘contamination’

Levenmouth swimming pool was shut for most of Monday due to “contamination”.

Fife Sports and Leisure Trust confirmed the pool had been closed to the public.

Swimming lessons and aqua zumba classes were also cancelled.

However, in an update on Monday afternoon, it was confirmed public swimming and aqua zumba would resume from 7pm on Monday.

All other facilities are open as usual.

Apology over Levenmouth pool closure

Fife Sports and Leisure Trust said in a Facebook post on Monday morning: “Due to unforeseen circumstances – a pool contamination – there will be no public swimming, aqua zumba or swimming lessons all day.

“The swimming pool will reopen for public swimming etc on Tuesday July 9 at 7am.

“All other facilities are open as normal.

“We apologise for any inconvenience caused.”

The update said: “Due to the deployment of additional resources we will be in a position to open the pool for aqua zumba and public swimming at 7pm on Monday 8.”

Earlier this year, swimmers at the pool were forced to evacuate after customers saw a cable snap near the flumes.
