Friends of the Pool at Waltham Forest College

Pool could re-open in January!

After much hard work from FOTP and Waltham Forest College working together to find a new operator, Active Leisure Managment (ALM) is now seriously interested in running the pool and hopes to open for swimming groups in January.

On a recent visit to the College, John Allan, Managing Director of ALM, was immediately struck by the pool and the number of groups who could use it for fitness training and teaching. The idea now is to open it gradually for use until a critical mass of users can be attracted to the pool in January. Next, details need to be sorted out before a contract can be signed. Robin Jones described the meeting with ALM, who  specialise in managing pools within educational establishments, as well as many leisure centres throughout the country, as extremely positive and encouraging. There has been great success in the first stage of recruiting local pool attendants with many lifeguards coming forward and being put in touch with ALM. Groups wanting to use the pool should get in touch with us through this website.
