A new high-tech indoor swimming pool has opened in Wiltshire.
Malmesbury's 25-metre pool cost £2m and has a moveable floor to allow the depth to be altered for various uses, including toddler swimming.
The project - based at the Wiltshire town's Activity Zone Leisure Centre - is the result of 10 years' work.
It was a collaboration by the Malmesbury community themselves and North Wiltshire District Council.
Work on the pool, which was partially paid for by a Sport England lottery grant, started in September 2002.
A leaflet drop in the town has also encouraged people to sign up for swimming lessons.
They are also planing to use the pool for competitions and galas.
