Dorset swimmer Jay Lelliot wants public pools to re-open as part of lockdown lift

Things are constantly changing, you can visit the shops and soon you'll be able to go the pubs, restuarants and the cinema - but you still won't be able to go for a swim in your local pool.

Swimmers, lead by Olympic gold medalist Adam Peaty, are now calling on the government to amend its decision to keep pools closed.

The #OpenOurPools campaign has been gathering pace on social media over the last 48 hours.
