Wilkie to reopen Commonwealth Pool

FORMER Olympic swimming champion David Wilkie will officially open the refurbished Royal Commonwealth Pool in Edinburgh next month.

The £37 million project has made the pool one of the UK's premier aquatics facilities and Wilkie will reopen it on March 21.

Edinburgh Leisure Chief Executive John Comiskey said: "The Royal Commonwealth Pool has long been one of the most popular leisure venues in Edinburgh and we are immensely proud to be managing the facility once again.
