The Milford Haven Paddling Pool, located on The Rath, is now open for the summer, and received its first visitors yesterday morning (Monday, July 18).

The pool was ready and open at 10am on the Monday morning, with youngsters and families straight in to kickstart the summer holidays.

The Pembrokeshire Lido Team lead by long time Paddling Pool Champion Brian Phillips has motivated and led a number of willing volunteers to prepare the pool for opening.

The local Men’s Shed took a very active part as did many volunteers across the town, as well as staff at Milford Haven Leisure Centre.

A spokesperson from Pembrokeshire Lido said: “It really is a stunning location for outdoor swimming with tremendous harbour vista.”
