The outdoor brine pool at Nantwich Swimming Pool & Fitness Centre may not have officially opened to the public for the summer season yet, but that hasn’t stopped some of the pool’s regular users jumping in for a quick dip before the crowds arrive. Thirteen ducklings have been born in the floral displays around the edge of the pool and have already started their swimming lessons in the brine pool as it is being filled up ready for the opening later in May.

Nantwich Pool Manager, Dave Morris says, “We welcome the family of ducks every year at the pool, they will stay around the pool area for a few weeks until they build up some more strength while joining some of the paying customers for a quick swim up and down the length of the pool. As soon as they have built up sufficient strength our lifeguard team will help them down to the river where they will stay to grow up.”

For everybody else who is waiting to use this unique facility in the heart of Nantwich, the official opening for members of the public will be taking place on Saturday 24th May at 9.30am with special guests including Steve Davis, Head Coach from Nantwich Town FC. The pool will then remain open throughout the summer until Sunday 28th September.
