New Members Changing Rooms

New and improved changing room facilities have been opened at Hatfield Swim Centre following extensive refurbishments. The refurbished facilities include new showers, lockers, changing rooms, vanity areas, hair dryers and mirror, and use LED lights to ensure they are as energy-efficient as possible. The new facilities were officially opened by Welwyn Hatfield Mayor Cllr Barbara Fitzsimon, accompanied by council leader Cllr Tony Kingsbury, Cllr Terry Mitchinson, executive member for leisure and community, and WHBC chief executive Ka Ng.

Representatives from the Greenwich Leisure Ltd (GLL), which manages the swim centre in partnership with the council, also attended. Cllr Mitchinson said: “Hatfield Swim Centre is a great place to get fit, have fun and get together with friends and family. The new changing room facilities are fantastic news for the many local members who use the health and fitness facilities at the swim centre.

"The health and wellbeing of residents across the borough is a priority for the council and we look forward to welcoming members and non-members to the wonderful facilities the centre has to offer including a 33m pool, gym, fitness studio and spa." GLL partnership manager Vishal Karia said: “The new energy saving lighting, tiling, lockers, showers and other fixtures and fittings create a lighter and smarter atmosphere for customers and will, we hope, encourage more people to use the facilities.”

GLL is a staff-owned charitable social enterprise that re-invests all surplus into facilities and programmes for the benefit of customers. In a changing world, our aims and aspirations for the future are to regularly review and update to ensure we meet the requirements of customers and partners.
