End of an era as Mayo swimming pool closes

AN indoor swimming pool that has served the Mayo public for almost 40 years opened its doors for the final time this morning.

Castlebar Swimming Pool will close tonight following its final session at 9.30 p.m.

It marks the end of an era and many memories will be shared by those who used the facility on a regular basis over the years.

However a new era begins on April 5 when a state-of-the-art replacement complex opens at Lough Lannagh.

No plans have yet been made for the old building once it becomes vacant.
