Summer is coming!

So say staff at Hitchin Swimming Centre, who have been busy gearing up to open their indoor and outdoor pools and Archers Gym.

Despite Easter Monday's snow, as you can see in the picture, hard-working staff have been preparing their pools for the return of swimmers, posting on their Instagram account: "We are working on the outdoor pool in the snow."

As we reported last week the popular site off Fishponds Road is set to reopen their gym on Monday, April 12.

North Herts District Council and Stevenage Leisure Limited have confirmed the expected reopening date of their outdoor swimming pools will be the end of May.
