YEARSLEY swimming pool in York was closed today for work to be carried out, but is due to reopen tomorrow morning.

The pool was closed yesterday afternoon, and people arriving for swimming sessions and members of the Jorvik Life Saving Club were turned away.

Today's cancelled sessions were mostly lessons, including some transferred during the present Barbican pool closure.

The Barbican pool has been closed for five weeks after debris from the ceiling fell into the pool. Rick Dower, assistant manager at Yearsley, said a problem had arisen while an emergency switch for lifeguards was being installed.
