York swimming pools closed after water pipe bursts
York Sport Village in Lakeside Way, Heslington said it had to close its main and small pool today (July 31) after a burst main had affected its hot water supply.

All swimming lessons have been cancelled today, along with the centre’s café.
Users have been warned that the showers in the changing rooms will also be cold, due to the lack of hot water.

A spokesperson said it is unknown whether the pools will be reopened this weekend.
They added: “We will provide a further update as soon as we have more information.
