For the last time..

The 2025-26 season was the final full season at Woodhouse Close Leisure Complex, with the new facility due to open in 2027 ✨

As our members take a well deserved break, we want to take some time to appreciate and remember the history of the leisure centre, the original Bishop Auckland Amateur Swimming Club and now Wear Valley ASC 💙

If you have any memories, whether they be photos or stories - we would love for them to be shared in the comments below ⬇️
