the leisure sector continues to feel the pressure - it can't be right that we can eat out to help out at half price but not swim or exercise at half price - support for pools is long overdue !
Devastated along with the rest of the swimming community at this second lockdown. The risks around pools are so low. Clubs are so responsible and sensible. Pools should stay open.

36 years ago European 5000m champion, 36 years later still getting excited at this fabulous sport - wonder if I’ll still be the championship record holder after tonight
@ECMunich2022
… Jacob Ingebrigtsen….
We all understand the pressure society is under but sport and physical activity are key to our health and well-being- pools and leisure centres should remain open for all our sakes
What is so frustrating about the current situation is how hard we have worked across the swimming community to provide a safe and progressive return to swimming not just for the elite but also the wider sport - thx so much for all the hard work
#OpenOurPools
European champs 5000m tonight - can’t see my championship record surviving with so many great runners out there including 3 Brits - but I’ll take the 38 years ! Looking forward to tonight’s action

Jake Wightman has become the World 1500m champion. Geoff calling his son becoming a World Champion is priceless. Helene, part of our team, filmed Dad. I sat with Mum Susan..then could not wait to give my mate a hug. Beyond proud. ❤️

What a farce ! Holidays abroad, beaches rammed and we still can’t have swimming pools open where clubs would be operating with really sensible guidance !
“The majority of lidos are community-run and operate on a financial knife edge. They’re currently unable to earn any money over a summer of good weather and I fear that for some pools this could spell their demise.”
