Staff shortages at Temple Cowley pools in Oxford forced the closure of the swimming pool an hour early tonight, shutting at 9pm rather than 10pm.
Last month, Oxford City Council, which runs the pool, had to shut the Barton and Ferry sports centre pools because of a lifeguard shortage.
Figures show staff illness for the council for six months amounted to 8,000 lost days.
