The pool water at Kimbolton is always maintained at 29 degrees centigrade. However, following certain essential procedures the water temperature may sometimes be slightly reduced.

The swimming pool is the only building on the school campus that operates at high temperatures and humidity every day throughout the year.  Heating the air and water is the major source of energy consumption and a costly business. The building and the water are heated using a biomass boiler system that runs on wood chip fuel. Previously the building was heated using oil this is now a secondary source of heat for emergencies when the biomass boiler has broken down or cannot supply enough heat to the building. 

 In order to conserve energy a cover is used to across the pool when the building is not in use, this allows the ventilation/heating system to operate at a reduced level not only saving money but also helping to protect the environment. 

Further energy saving is carried out by a building management system that shuts down non-essential systems when the pool is not in use. The pool also has an inverter circulation pump system which is designed to save energy/costs when the pool is closed for swimming.
