What benefits will a new pool bring?

To start with, a new outdoor pool would bring huge benefits to the area in terms of promoting sport and healthy lifestyles. We’ve had loads of conversations with all kinds of groups, from triathlon clubs, to lifeguards, to outdoor swimmers, to surfers, to divers, to kayakers (and that’s just the start) all of whom would really make the most of such a unique facility.

On top of that, the pool would offer families a super safe place to enjoy the beach and the water, and would be hugely popular in that respect, too.

Finally, the opportunities to help promote tourism in the region would also be enormous – we can imagine a transformed pool would ultimately be one of the major tourist attractions in the North East, and something that could act as a real catalyst for the regeneration (where it’s needed) of much of the North East coastline.
