Joe McNulty, Sea Lanes Brighton Director, said:
From our initial planning application in 2018, we are delighted to be able to confirm our opening date for the only National Open Water Swimming Centre in the UK to date.
“We have been on a long journey working with the local community adapting our design to reflect Brighton’s heritage and environment whilst regenerating a derelict brownfield site with what we believe will become another iconic Brighton destination.
Duncan Anderson, CEO of South Downs Leisure commented:
We are all extremely excited to get this unique project over the start line and welcome swimmers to Sea Lanes to train in a safe open water swimming environment.
Following the approval of planning in March 2021 Sea Lanes Brighton is formed by a passionate group of Brighton-based businesses and open water swimming enthusiasts, it’s centred on physical wellbeing and environmental sustainability. The design of the scheme also respects the adjacent Grade II Madeira Terraces.
