The swimming pool in New Cumnock, East Ayrshire, has undergone significant improvement work following funding from the Dumfries House Outreach Programme. It was saved from demolition by the community-run group Afton Water Leisure.
Built in 1966, the pool is one of the few heated clean water open-air pools in Scotland. The new-look pool, designed in a lido style, has been made more energy efficient and given a significant facelift through a construction project which started in September 2016 and was finished this month.
