The gas pressure was found to be too high and as a safety precaution the boilers were turned off.

Engineers from SGN visited the Sovereign Centre and are now liaising with the National Grid to confirm next steps. 

SGN has informed us that until the fault is rectified the boilers at the Sovereign Centre will be out of use.  

We apologise for the inconvenience and disappointment caused by this news. 

Other dry-side facilities and activities including the gym and studio are open as usual.

We are contacting our swimming groups and will share updates with all customers as soon as they are available. 

Bradley Barlow, spokesperson for gas distribution company SGN, said:

"Earlier today, we attended the Sovereign Centre in Eastbourne and found an issue with the gas pressure being too high for the boilers heating their swimming pools.

"As a safety precaution, we made the decision to switch off the boilers.

"We are currently in discussions with National Grid about the next steps required to restore gas to the boilers."
