Staff and supporters of a community swimming pool are celebrating a decade since it was saved from demolition with a series of special events. 

Fun sessions at Oaklands Community Pool in Lordshill can be enjoyed at 2015 prices during February half term alongside some family-friendly activities, aimed at thanking valued customers. 

On Sunday February 16, there will be a Lifesaving Club demonstration, an aqua fit party and an adult lane swimming distance challenge.

Swimmers will also be able to enjoy hot food, soft drinks, snacks, and treats while learning more about the charity's success stories or getting an insider's look at the plant room. 

Oaklands, which opened in 1986, was faced with closure following budget cuts by Southampton City Council back in 2012.

Following a two-year battle and subsequent major refurbishment, it reopened in early 2015.

Since then, a £165,000 changing room refurbishment has taken place, alongside other upgrades to facilities.
