Crowds of families, swimmers and gym enthusiasts flocked to the opening day of Witham’s new leisure centre.
An action packed fun day was held at the centre in Spinks Lane, which was officially opened last Saturday by councillor Sue Wilson, the chairman of Braintree Council.
Olympic swimmer Kate Haywood attended the opening ceremony before jumping into the pool for a training session with the Witham Dolphins.
She said: “These are great facilities they are perfect for learning to swim, for recreational clubs and activities for anyone from babies to older adults.”
