Lisa Dodd-Mayne, Chief Executive – Place for Sport England, said: “Swimming pools and leisure centers are vital community resources and are vitally important in helping people to be physically active. Many pools have faced a real and significant threat to their survival this year, as local authorities and operators face the challenge of rising energy and wider costs, depleted reserves and difficulties retaining staff.
“Sport England is proud of the role we have played in supporting these facilities during this difficult time. We hope this funding announcement will enable more public pools to improve their energy efficiency to be more environmentally and financially sustainable, so they remain available for future generations to enjoy.”
