ONE of the swimming pools at the John Smith’s Stadium has had to temporarily close.

Engineers are working to fix a technical fault in a cable which links to the larger pool, which can be raised up and down.

It means the larger pool cannot be used, but the smaller pool is still open.

A spokeswoman for Kirklees Active Leisure said: “We’ve moved all the classes and sessions into the smaller pool.

“Repairs are underway but it does mean the pool will be closed for the next couple of days.”

Some classes are affected, including Thursday’s Aqua-med, adult programme, the health club lane and junior sessions from 4pm.

They hope to re-open the pool on Friday, but the decision will be taken tomorrow.
