History
In 1977, the local village committee managed to obtain the funding to build a Script error: No such module "convert". swimming pool in Freshwater for the local swimming club to train. This was originally a primitive site with portable changing rooms, however after a few years, the building was refurbished. In 1991, a Script error: No such module "convert". pool was added to the facilities. Then in 1999, the biggest overhaul yet was planned. The committee made a successful bid for a multimillion-pound grant from the Sports Council and the National Lottery, which was invested in creating the current facilities. [1]
