A newly refurbished outdoor complex at Faversham Swimming Pools is set to open for the summer this weekend.

From Saturday (May 5) at 9am, swimmers will be able to enjoy a fully revamped shower and toilet area.

Tiling around the main outdoor pool, fun pool and rapids, and the toddlers' paddling pool have also been restored.

Swimming pools manager Roger Lake said: "The whole pools complex is looking its very best for local people and visitors to our fine town."

Mike Henderson, vice-chair of the pool's trustees added: "The people of Faversham created this great location in the centre of town.

"The trustees remain determined to provide an excellent and affordable facility for local people so entry allows individuals and families to enjoy themselves for the full day. There are no time limits here.

"Of course we hope for a fine and warm bank holiday weekend and fortunately the weather forecast looks good."

As an added bonus, the first 10 children under the age of 16 to arrive for opening time on Saturday will be allowed free entry for the day.

The pool, which received 215,000 visitors last year, is Faversham's most popular attraction and its management are hoping this number will be even bigger in 2018.
