Chair of board says they're a community facility and not a money-making venture
Regional swimming pools on the Isle of Man will be reviewed by a third party to consider governance and challenges and provide recommendations for future delivery.
All pool boards will have an opportunity to participate and contribute.
The Department of Education, Sport and Culture has requested the external viewpoint and, as an interim measure, will underwrite the costs of the facilities for the next 12 months.
Juan McGuinness is the chair of the Northern Swimming Pool board - he's welcomed the decision but says it was never the intention for them to become self-sufficient:
Smile of Mann programme to start in primary schools next year
Loganair passengers yet to be reunited with bags left in Manchester on Sunday
