The pool was originally opened by the then Chairman of East Devon District Council, Cllr C.G.E. Cotterell, on Friday the September 6 1985.
A spokesman said: “The opening of the pool was a ‘smash hit’ that had taken some 30 years to come to fruition.
“Exmouth Swimming and Life Saving Society originally campaigned for an indoor pool, which was eventually provided.”
