A spokesman said: “Tiling has been completed on the floor of the pool. The 25-metre pool has eight lanes with a shallow end at 0.9m and the deep end at 1.8m.
It has taken roughly twice as long to grout the tiles as it did to lay them. It was very detailed work.
“Pools need a whole lot of equipment to make them work properly. The pool’s filters and pumps have been brought to site over the last few weeks and are now starting to be put in place.”

The spokesman added: “That’s a welcome relief from the mud created by the awful weather over the winter!”
