Holywell Mead Pool

Congratulations to Fusion who now have the opportunity to provide the people of High Wycombe and local surrounding areas a newly refurbished out door swimming pool.

Local residents and professionals have worked hard for the past two years to secure this much loved pool for public use. The Holywell Mead Pool group, made up of local people and swimming enthusiasts are pleased that Fusion have negotiated with Wycombe District Council to undertake this venture. Neil Bailey, the groups chair declared:

“We are delighted that the council have agreed to enable an experienced and professional company this opportunity. The pool group are excited that Fusion have been successful. We (the group) would like to offer Fusion our support and help to raise funds for the pool and any additional facilities. We look forward to working with Fusion to ensure the pool remains a valuable asset to the local community.”

“Wycombe District Council made the difficult decision to close the pool in 2009 to save money. However the Holywell Mead Pool group campaigned to re-open the pool, and were convinced that this could be achieved without any expense to the council or local tax payer.”

With the Olympics looming it is highly likely there will be an increase in the activity levels of old and young. The pool lends itself to Triathlon training, swimming clubs, scuba instruction, canoe / kayak training etc. Some of the more progressive health trusts and GP’s are paying for swimming and gym sessions instead of endless prescriptions for happy pills and guidance over obesity and health issues linked to inactivity.
