The Ryleys School - Big Splash Project

The Ryleys School has benefited from an outdoor pool for over 100 years offering seasonal swimming to its pupils in beautiful private garden surroundings. Despite the pool being modernised over the years, maintained well and water kept at a warm temperature, the variable Cheshire weather means that often swimming lessons are cancelled and our water based sports opportunities are limited to the summer term only.

Understanding the considerable benefits of swimming for physical and mental health, the school has researched various options available to increase the swimming opportunities for our pupils. After careful consideration, the school plans to build a state of the art pool enclosure over our existing swimming pool with fully retractable roof and sides.

This impressive building will not only enable all year round swimming but retain the tradition and benefits of swimming in the fresh air when the weather permits.

Nationally, there is a shortage of access to pools and swimming lessons. We are certain this development will not only significantly improve the offering to our existing and future families, will considerably improve our green status and our positive impact on the local community.
