Swimmers are deprived of the activity that enables them to keep fit, which helps to maintain a healthy immune system. Swimming pools can operate in a Covid-secure way, and we believe it is unjustifiable for them to be closed when restaurants etc remain open.
Unlike gyms and restaurants, swimming pools also provide a unique service that most people cannot access at home.
