Tollcross Pool to Reopen

The main pool at Glasgow Club Tollcross will reopen to the public on Thursday 30 April following refurbishment. The venue is ready to welcome the local community and, later this summer, the world’s best swimmers competing at the 2026 Commonwealth Games.

The work, part of Glasgow Life’s ongoing capital development programme was supported by £2.9 million from Glasgow Life and Glasgow City Council and focused on pool and plant repairs, including re-tiling the main pool and refurbishing the pool filtration system.

An additional £850,000 from Glasgow 2026 Commonwealth Games venue readiness fund supported a wider upgrade of the main pool area specific to the delivery of the Games. This includes improvements to spectator seating, lighting, competition starting blocks and the video board, which are permanent legacy items, gifted to the venue as part of Glasgow 2026's long-term investment in Glasgow's sporting future.

Together the upgrades have restored one of Scotland's most iconic aquatic venues to full international standard ahead of the 2026 Commonwealth Games.
