Weymouth swimming pool closed
Both pools have closed due to a serious boiler failure.
There is no indication of when it may reopen; rumour is that the boiler requires replacement and that may take weeks.
Both the Weymouth Council site and that of SLM (who manage the pool) have similar notices about the closure; click on the links to get updated information.

Masters Swimsuit Rules
Whilst there were rumours that the swimsuits rules that apply from January 1st 2010 would be relaxed for Masters events, it has been announced that that will not be the case.
In summary, you can only wear one costume, it must be of textile fabric and you can't have zips etc. For men, the legal suit coverage is above the knee and below the navel. For women, above the knee and below the neck, not covering arms or shoulders.
These rules will be applied at the upcoming Dorset 1500/800m races.
