The story of Atlantis is the story of real community spirit in action. It's a story of a community, which pulled together to raise millions through its own efforts, to give the town of Oban a sports centre it could be proud of. Behind the massive efforts of fundraising and generosity from the Oban public and the town's businesses, a small group of dedicated individuals devoted themselves to getting the Atlantis Leisure project up and running. These ten directors came together to form the Oban and Lorn Community Enterprise Company Limited. Negotiations with the council were concluded and the company took over the swimming pool on the 1st of October 1992. Within a year the Atlantis Leisure Fund (ALF) was at a total of ยฃ335,000, a significant part of the funding coming from North British Trust hotels as well as local fund raising including the buy a brick campaign. The National Lottery donated over a million pounds to the project to get it off the ground. The name Atlantis Leisure came from a pupil at Oban High School who won a competition run in primary and secondary schools to come up with a name and a company logo. Seventeen year old Deirdre Anderson came up with the name 'Atlantis Leisure' and in recognition of that she was invited to accept the keys at the official handover from Willie Young, Argyll and Bute's director of leisure at the time. A year on year programme was devised which in turn contributed to the success of our organisation. The 'vision' was to take the pool as it existed and build a sports hall in the gap site, to extend the children's play area, build a floodlit outdoor pitch and to modernise the remaining facilities. In 1998 a new six-court sports hall, cafรฉ, gym and health suit opened its doors. Since then there has been constant improvements not only within the building but also to the numbers of activities provided. Further building upgrades have included an all weather 5-a-side pitch, three level soft play and climb cube as well as pool plant upgrade and a new bio-mass boiler behind the scenes. At present the centre is heavily fund raising for a new play park and an upgrade on outside facilities. Have a look at our timeline to see everything thats been happening over the last twenty years!

ATLANTIS ARCHIVES #0004
In this series we recount some moments from Atlantis history since 1992!

In February 1994, Atlantis opened its new fitness suite in addition to the pool. Some of you may recognize this fitness suite in our current back studio.

When the fitness suite opened, MP Ray Michie visited and got a trial on one of the machines from fitness instructors Jane Burns and Morven Summers!

The gym then moved into its current location to account for growing demand.

Freestyle Friday is back on tonight, one last time before the October Holidays!

Firstly, congratulations to Honey, who gets free entry tonight, setting the fastest time at the Softplay Time Trials last week, with a winning time of 44:65s - which was at least a minute faster than a certain member of staff, who wishes to remain ANNAnymous at this time.

Tonight, we have the following for the children to take part in;

Main Hall: Racket Sports (Pickleball, Table Tennis, Badminton) & Basketball followed by a massive game of Hit the Backboard Dodgeball.
Dance Studio: Gymnastics
Back Pitch: Football Matches
Function Room: Games Room (Board Games & Video Games)

Come along & join the fun. It will be a prolonged break, as after the holidays it will be the S1 Lock In - so keep your eyes peeled for information regarding Freestyle Friday dates in November, closer to the time. See you all tonight!

The face you make when you realise itโ€™s almost holiday camp time again!

Every year, our team of swimming teachers come together for a dedicated professional development day as part of our ongoing partnership with Scottish Swimming. Itโ€™s a great opportunity for the team to learn, share ideas and continue developing their skills, both in the classroom and in the pool.
This year, 16 of our swimming teachers took part in two Scottish Swimming CPD sessions focusing on Early Years and Fun & Progressive Practices.
The sessions gave the team lots of new ideas and practical tools to help them become more creative with lesson planning and delivery, while ensuring our lessons remain fun, engaging and progressive for every swimmer. The team had the opportunity to put some of the ideas into practice in the pool, making the learning practical and relevant to the lessons they deliver every week.
It was also a fantastic team-building day, giving everyone the chance to learn together, share experiences and support each other. We are always looking for ways to develop our teachers and improve the experience we provide for our swimmers, and these CPD days are a really important part of this.
Weโ€™re now looking forward to taking what we learned from the day and putting it into practice across our swimming lessons, bringing new ideas, creativity and fun into our sessions while continuing to help all of our swimmer's progress.
A huge thank you to Scottish Swimming and our tutors, Lorna and Suzanne, for making the day so engaging, practical and enjoyable for the whole team.
