The Shetland Recreational Trust has planned to shut all of its leisure centres over the festive period. This means not only competitive swimmers cannot train but leisure swimmers will also not be able to have a dip. Unless competitive swimmers continue to train regularly there performance will be severely affected. This will be the first year that this option has been removed from them. If you support this petition to try and get swimming pools open over the festive period please electronically sign and pass on to all your friends. Thanks John Nicolson Shetland Swimming Association Chairman

I have spent my mornings talking with the facility managers to explain why this closure hits our young athletes so hard. Their silence is frustrating but it only motivates me to keep pushing them for a real answer before the holidays arrive.

Seeing this level of support for our swimmers proves that our local community understands exactly what is at stake for our athletes. We have truly gathered enough momentum to show the Recreational Trust that these closures are a mistake for everyone who relies on the water.

This is ridiculous. People actually want to stay active over the holidays and now they have nowhere to go. Keep them open.

Just keep the main pool open at least. Totally unfair to the competitive team.

A lot of us rely on the pool to blow off steam during the holidays. Bad decision by the trust.

Ridiculous! The kids need something to do when they are off school. Why punish the swimmers?
