Case Study
In 2019 we started work on redeveloping and enclosing the old derelict outdoor swimming pool at Fawcett Primary School in Trumpington. We invested heavily into saving the pool from demolition in order to provide a vital facility for generations to come and for us to have use of a new swimming pool to expand our business outside of school hours.
The swimming pool had been in a state of disrepair for the past 5 years so Fawcett Primary School were delighted when we approached them to partner on saving it.
The pool shell was completely restored and a glass enclosure was installed over it. We also added a small changing block complete with showers and toilet facilities meaning the pool can be used all year round for swimming lessons both by the school and by us.
ESA Founder Ed Williams said “It is a huge privilege to be involved in this project to provide a much needed new facility for children to learn to swim. We have worked on similar renovation projects in the past but this will be our biggest transformation yet by turning an outdoor pool into an indoor one.”
The swimming pool will is now heated with an air source heat pump and the pool water goes through a special recycling chamber making it an incredibly energy efficient project. The Trumpington Federation now have use of the pool during the day time for their children and Elite Swimming Academy now use it to run private swimming lessons outside of school hours creating valuable extra income for the Federation.
We are delighted that the children at Trumpington Meadows and Fawcett Primary Schools will be able to use the pool all year round. This is an example of how collaboration and partnership can benefit the community.
