Outdoor saltwater pool in Nantwich in high demand during heatwave

“We’re turning people away because they haven’t booked,” said the general manager of a centre which boosts an open air saltwater swimming pool.

Peter Wilson, general manager at Nantwich Leisure Centre, Cheshire, said it has been “extremely busy” during the heatwaves.

The pool can accommodate 147 swimmers during a general swim, and those sessions are being booked eight days in advance.

Customers are coming from “all over the north west of England, Midlands and North Wales as they do every year to use the pool in this wonderful weather we are having, which is just like being in the Mediterranean”, said Wilson.

The attraction first opened to the public on 1 July 1935 and is now thought to be one of just two inland open air brine swimming pools in the country, the other being in Droitwich, Worcestershire.

The UK’s third heatwave of the year is set to intensify again this week, and more places in England and Wales could exceed 30C.

It has led to amber and yellow heat health , externalalerts issued by the UK Health Security Agency.
