A swimming facility says it is working with “business recovery experts” after the company’s site in Lichfield was closed.
The Swim House at Lichfield Retail Park on Eastern Avenue was earmarked as delivering “access to pool time for schools and clubs as well as elite athletes on their journey to gold” when plans were approved last year.
But the facility is now closed with a bailiff sign on the door confirming the locks had been changed on the unit by the landlord.
A statement on The Swim House’s website says:
“We are sorry to say that we have temporarily ceased activities.
“We are working with business recovery experts to find a way forward through this difficult time.”
Statement on The Swim House website
The Swim House’s website has previously described how the owners had been forced to “tighten our budget” after initial plans had been disrupted.
Among the original elements not included were showers, with energy prices cited as a reason.
Before closing, The Swim House had outlined bold plans for the future.
“We set out two years ago to prove that you could convert a redundant shop into a swimming academy for less than £1,000,000.
“When our application for council Community Infrastructure Levy funding was rejected in February we had to tighten our budget and create what is known a minimum viable product.
“We have achieved our goal and are pleased to say that we are now on the first step of our journey to change swimming pool availability across the UK.”
