Swimming pool operators have issued a warning after a couple was caught doing an intimate act in the water.
The Old Gym Limited in Salters Lode has clarified that it is “certainly not some glorified swingers’ club” after the pair was spotted.
It meant the owners of the private venue had to change the water and re-chlorinate it to make sure there was “no material impact”.

A social media statement from the business, posted on Sunday evening, explained the facilities are mostly used by families.
“If you want intimate time with your partner, go home or purchase your own pool – Google has plenty of options,” it said.
“Actions like this require me to drain the pool, shock it, and rebalance the chemicals – it is expensive and time-consuming.
“If I catch anyone again, I will name and shame, and I care very little in respect to the consequences of doing so.”
The business also thanked people for continuing to use its facilities and reiterated that the pool is now clean.
“I am sure worse happens in most publicly accessible pools – but I am honest and transparent about these things, and want to deter such things from happening here,” it added.
