Scarborough Swimming Instructor Opens Pool in Backyard

An example of a pool in a private garden

A self-employed Scarborough swimming coach has had a special pool constructed in her backyard and opened it to the general public.

Lindsey Prior-McKie, of Super Swim Academy, had the Endless Pool built and shipped over from the USA.

She used a Covid bounce-back loan to buy the four-metre long construction, which she wasn't completely certain would fit.

Since then, she's had several swimmers test the pool, including a county-level athlete. 

Her home has also had to be converted to house separate changing facilities for customers.

Lindsey, who opened the facility on Monday, explained to Paddy At Breakfast how it'll all work:
