Clickimin pool to close for a day following ‘body fluids’ incident

THE CLICKIMIN Leisure Complex’s swimming pool in Lerwick is to close until Monday night following an incident involving “the release of body fluids” today (Sunday).

The leisure centre, which is run by Shetland Recreational Trust, made the announcement on Sunday evening.

“In line with procedures and in dealing with an incident of this nature, we will be required to stay closed until 5pm on Monday 3 March 2025,” it said on Facebook.

“We apologise for any inconvenience caused but the safety of our customers and water quality is paramount.

“The health suite and hydrotherapy pools remain unaffected by this closure but there will be no access to the main pool, toddlers pool, river or bubble pool in main pool hall.”

The Clickimin’s reception team will contact any customers whose bookings have been affected.
