Torridge Pool, in Bideford re-opened the gym and swimming pool to customers on Monday, April 12, in line with government guidelines after almost four long months of closure.
The first week has seen over 300 children resume their swim lessons, over 50 people attend the gym and pool each day and 100 children from Torridgeside swimming club return to the pool over this first week.
In just the first week of opening staff have already seen a huge amount of interest and demand from people wanting to sign up, especially within its hugely popular learn to swim programme, having signed an additional 35 new swimmers in the first few days.
