The reopening of the Weyburn Leisure Centre's indoor pool has been delayed due to an unforeseen issue discovered during routine preparation for the upcoming season.
According to a press release on Thursday afternoon, the scheduled opening date was originally set for September 9th, but the City of Weyburn has regretfully announced that, while filling the pool, staff identified a significant water leak.
“This pool basin issue was unforeseen and only became evident once the pool was refilled for the upcoming season,” said Weyburn Leisure Services Director Andrew Crowe.
“I want to acknowledge the tremendous effort our facilities staff put into preparing the indoor pool. They did exceptional work ensuring all mechanical systems were running smoothly and the facility was clean and ready for the public. Unfortunately, this issue could not have been detected until the pool was refilled.”
Registration has therefore been postponed for swimming lessons until a clear timeline for the necessary repairs is identified.
Further updates regarding the reopening and swimming lesson registration will be provided as soon as more information becomes available. The City asks residents to watch for updates on the City of Weyburn website and announcements on the City’s social media channels.
