YOUNGSTERS had a sneak preview of a new swimming pool a day ahead of its official opening.

Pupils from Oaklands Primary School in Norheads Lane, Biggin Hill, visited the 25m and six-lane pool at Biggin Hill Memorial Library in Church Road.

The £5.1m centre, which includes state-of-the-art changing facilities, meeting rooms and cafe, has now opened to the public for general swimming, lessons and pool hire for birthday parties.

Bromley Council leader Councillor Stephen Carr said: “It will provide a new focus of activities for local youngsters and a hub of community activity.”
