Tonbridge Swimming Pool will reopen on Monday after a huge clean-up.
The swimming pool has been closed since it was swamped by sewage and flood water over Christmas and it has taken £300,000 to repair the damage - a cost covered by insurers.
It will open at 6.30am and will close at 10pm.
The pool will be open those same hours on weekdays and between 7am and 8pm on weekends.
Robert Styles, director of street scene and leisure for Tonbridge and Malling Borough Council, said: “The Council has been working closely with Tonbridge and Malling Leisure Trust and our insurers to assess and repair the damage to vital pool plant and equipment following the severe flooding over the Christmas period.
“The work included extensive cleaning operations as well as repairs to equipment and we are very pleased it will open at the end of March, in good time for the school Easter holidays.
“We are very sorry for the inconvenience to customers the closure and look forward to welcoming everyone back to the pool which is now looking at its very best."
