The revamped swimming pool was officially unveiled to the community at a public open day held on Saturday morning.
People could enjoy a free swim and see all the improvement work that has been done over a drink and cakes, as well as find out more about what is on offer or volunteer to help at the pool.

Hide AdHeckington Parish Council awarded a £4,000 grant plus a £4,000 loan to Heckington’s Community Swimming Pool Committee to help pay for the £16,000 worth of work which included replacing the damaged pool liner on the Howell Road facility.
An automatic chemical dosing machine has been fitted and a new entrance created. The pool is managed by local volunteers who sub-lease it from Heckington Parish Council.
New safety standards and regulations require that the pool flooring has a dimple surface making it non-slip and needs to be far more substantial to cope with usage by the neighbouring school.
