The swimming pool at Ionad Spòrs Leòdhais in Stornoway is closed until further notice as a result of damaged floor tiles.
A number of tiles became loose and were detached on Monday evening. The pool was closed immediately until an assessment could be made this morning.
The pool is being partially drained to access the floor to replace the tiles.
A comhairle spokesman said: “We currently anticipate that the pool will remain closed
for at least the remainder of this week, with the hope of being in a position to
safely re-open to the public from early to middle of next week.”
The pool and jacuzzi are out of use until then. However, the steam room and sauna are available as usual.
All pool activities such as swimming lessons, aquafit classes and private bookings are cancelled for the remainder of this week.
Sports centre staff will contact people with affected bookings.
The team will be in touch with parents regarding this week’s missed lessons and assessments as soon as a plan is in place.
