YOUNGSTERS took advantage of a free swim at Otley's Chippendale Pool this week.
The public pool, at Prince Henry's Grammar School, has just reopened following a major £340,000 refurbishment.
Work on the pool, which was once described by a Leeds leisure boss as the worst in the district, has included work on the changing rooms, the heating and ventilation systems and redecoration.
The reopening had been put back for two weeks after a fault with the heating system was discovered at the last minute.
The reopening marks the end of a long-running saga to get the run-down baths - the only ones in the area apart from Aireborough Leisure Centre - reopened.
