Jarrow Community Pool
The new Jarrow Community Pool was officially opened by Paralympic swimmer Josef Craig on Monday 14 January 2013.
The gold medal winner performed the official opening and took the first public swim in the £4 million facility.
Josef, who was named BBC Young Sports Personality of the Year in 2012 and was awarded an MBE in the Queen's New Year Honours list, was joined by the Mayor of South Tyneside, Councillor Eileen Leask, at the launch event.
The pool, which was built using a combination of funds from the former Department for Children, Schools and Families and the Building Schools for the Future programme, is on the site of Jarrow School.
The 25 metre, four-lane pool has a hydraulic floor meaning the depth of the water can be adjusted, and a deep end to allow competitive swimmers to dive.
Schools will have use of the pool during school hours in term-time.
Outside these hours the pool will be available for swimming lessons and regular bookings from swimming clubs as well as community groups such as Scouts and Guides.
There will also be a schedule of activities and group sessions such as family and adult only swims which people can book onto in advance.
To find out more or to book call 0191 456 9119 or 0191 424 6407. To hire the facilities call 0191 424 6401.
