The price of memberships at a new seafront swimming pool has been revealed. 

South Downs Leisure, the contractor in charge of Brighton's Sea Lanes swimming pool, has announced an "early bird offer" for memberships to its 50m pool. 

The "founder" memberships are available now and are limited to the first 500 people to sign up, or to December 23, whichever comes first. 

The introductory price is £45 per month. Direct debts will not start until the pool is officially open, but prices will increase once this offer ends. 

Sea Lanes, which is on the site of the former Peter Pan playground in Madeira Drive, is expected to open next spring. 

The £45 per month membership will include access to Southwick Leisure Centre and Wadurs Swimming Pool. 

Sea Lanes will be the new National Open Water Swimming Centre of Excellence.

For those who wish to pay per swim, this will be an option.

The price of this is not yet confirmed but it is expected to be around £10 per swim.
