Purpose-built swimming pool opens on Wiltshire farm
A purpose-built swimming pool is now offering lessons to children of all ages.
The pool, located at Manor Farm in Tytherington near Warminster, is part of a new partnership between the farm and Puddle Ducks Bristol and Bath, a swim school delivering classes across the region.
Diana Heathcote, from Puddle Ducks Bristol and Bath, said: "It's been so exciting helping to plan the pool with Peter and Steph all these years and to now see it up and running is the best feeling.

"We're providing our lessons throughout the week and it's also lovely to offer them on Sunday mornings, particularly as we are welcoming families with children at both baby and pre-school and those of a school age within Swim Academy, to come along and swim together.
"We can't wait to meet lots more local families and teach their children to swim beautifully."
The pool was developed in partnership with farm owners Peter and Steph Corp as part of their efforts to diversify the farm business.
Mr Corp said: "We wanted to diversify and knew that building a swimming pool where our old barn sat would allow us to provide swimming lessons to the local community."
