Video clips

Three brilliant YouTube clips to give you a feel for Waterworld... the place, the campaign and the strength of public feeling about its closure.

Who we are

Splashback was a group of Edinburgh residents who sought to re-open the unique and well-loved public amenity, Leith Waterworld. The pool was Edinburgh's (and the region's) only leisure pool with flumes, waves, shallow areas and warmer water than conventional pools.

Leith Waterworld closed on 8 January 2012. For a year and a half we campaigned, then worked with the Council to investigate reopening the pool. The Council voted to sell the site on 30 May 2013, cutting short our process and reversing a promise to work with us until the end of 2013 to develop a potential future for the site as a public amenity.

Our vision was to develop and re-open, under community-led management, a revitalised and enhanced Leith Waterworld as a pool, a family leisure destination, and an inclusive hub for health and well-being.
