This weekend, Falkirk Community Trust is launching pre-booked sessions for all customers wishing to swim at the Mariner Center in Camelon.

The move comes after the trust recently posted messages on social media encouraging swimmers to use its pools in Grangemouth and Bo’ness after the Camelon pool became incredibly busy.

To book a 40 minute swim this Saturday and Sunday, customers should call the reservations telephone number on 01324 503750 – this includes existing Health & Fitness members and monthly swim pass holders.

All sessions must be paid for at the time of booking.

The day the trust asked swimmers to come ‘beach ready’ to make the changing process as easy as possible and, although a pre-swim rinse will be available, there will be no showers afterwards swimming.

Falkirk Community Trust has been approached for comment.
