Eyemouth leisure centre reopens following upgrade
Last updated 5th Apr 2024
Eyemouth swimming pool is set to reopen this evening (Friday).
The leisure centre's been closed for almost five months for vital repairs - with some users travelling over the border to England for sessions.
Operator Live Borders used the time to upgrade its gym, which reopened this morning.
It marks the end of a difficult few months which also saw the closure of a number of other facilities, with Teviotdale Leisure Centre in Hawick fully reopening on Wednesday.
It was closed for most of last month for essential work - leaving some users with a 22-mile round-trip to Selkirk for sessions.
