Helston Sports Centre has confirmed that a ten week closure of the swimming pool will take place from March 16, however this will not have an impact on this year's triathlon.

The pool is due to close on March 16 for essential repair to the roof, but is expected to be open again by May 24, almost three weeks before the Helston Triathlon on June 7.

Those customers who pay a regular membership are currently being contacted by staff from Tempus Leisure, which runs the centre, to explain their options during the closure.

Swim members will be given the option to freeze their membership or use the gym at Helston.
