Swimming Pool Support Fund Open for Applications

The £20 million revenue fund closes on August 11, with a £40m pot for capital investment set to be made available in September, to help make facilities more energy efficient.

The Swimming Pool Support Fund is now open to applications from local authorities with pools in their area.

Announced as part of the Spring Budget, the £60 million fund is split into two pots, with the £20m that opens for applications today helping those facilities with swimming pools that have increased cost pressures, leaving them most vulnerable to closure or significant service reduction.

The remaining £40m will be made available in September and will be for investment to improve the energy efficiency of public facilities with pools in the medium to long term.
