Friday January 25 2013
THE Olympic effect of 2012 had an incredible impact at several Barnsley Premier Leisure sites.
Figures released show that the Metrodome received 50,062 swimmers - a huge increase of 49% on the previous year.
Since 2012 the number of gym memberships across Barnsley Leisure Centres has increased by 32% from 7,202 members to over 10,000.
Back in February 2012 the Barnsley Metrodome opened its highly anticipated £1million water park - Calypso Cove - which saw the overall visitors increase by nearly 7,000 with a footfall of 21,700 visitors during the Easter holidays.
BPL Chief Executive, Tim Wilson said:
