The swimming pool at a York leisure centre is closed this weekend – as there are too few staff to operate it.
York Sport Village at Heslington was closed completely late yesterday afternoon (Friday) due to the problem.
It is open today, but the swimming pools are closed all weekend, and today’s swimming lessons have been cancelled.

In a statement, York Sport said: “Unfortunately due to a number of staff isolations within our operations team at the Sport Village, the swimming pools will be closed this weekend.
“The remaining staffing levels do not allow us to safely open the pools which has meant we have had to make this difficult decision to close the pools and cancel swimming lessons.
“The gym, fitness classes, outdoor facilities and ParkRun will remain open as normal this weekend.”
Staff have been ringing or emailing people who have booked a swim or a lesson to let them know the situation.
As things stand, the pools will reopen as normal on Monday.
