Financial Times: all swimming pools may close in Britain due to rising prices


Pool. File photo MOSCOW, May 28. Swimming pools in the UK are at risk of closing due to debt and the energy crisis, according to the Financial Times newspaper. Swimming is the most popular form of physical activity among the British. However, even before the COVID-19 pandemic, one of the largest operators in the industry, Swim England, published a report according to which about half of the 4,000 pools in Britain will close by 2030 due to depreciation of infrastructure and the impracticality of repairs. Now to the problems that have arisen as a result of lockdowns, increased electricity prices. “As debt accumulates post-pandemic and energy prices rise by 100-150% since 2019, the number of indoor pools is likely to increase dramatically,” said Swim England CEO Jane Nickerson. “Literally any pool is at risk of being closed,” she added. The operators interviewed by the newspaper intend to limit the volume of services provided, reduce staff and reduce the temperature of the water in the pools. However, they believe that such measures cannot fundamentally change the situation for the better.
