THE swimming pool at Loftus Leisure Centre has been temporarily closed for essential repairs.
The pool was closed on Tuesday and is not expected to re-open until the New Year.
The centre's dry areas - including gym, squash, sauna, steam room, spa and aerobics - will remain open.
The work to replace filters was identified during a condition survey by Redcar and Cleveland Borough Council and Tees Valley Leisure Ltd, which looks after sports centres in East Cleveland.
All school swimming sessions will be offered at alternative facilities and it is hoped that swimming groups and the public will take advantage of the Saltburn or Guisborough pools.
Paddy Corcoran, managing director of Tees Valley Leisure Ltd, said: "We must apologise to all our swimmers at Loftus Leisure Centre, but the work must be carried out as soon as possible."
For more information on programme availability at alternative swimming pools call Loftus Leisure Centre on (01287) 642020.
