Charlie Clements, General Manager of Hinksey Heated Outdoor Pool, said: “There is no better place to spend summer days than at the pool. We wanted to create a summer season ticket that would make visiting regularly affordable for our local residents and we’re looking forward to welcoming regular swimmers over the coming months.”
