OXFORD City Council is still waiting to hear whether Hinksey Pool is safe to use again.
The outdoor pool, in Hinksey Park, near Abingdon Road, was dyed purple by vandals on Friday night and has been closed since Saturday.
A microbiological test was expected to be completed by today but a council spokesman said the result was now likely to be confirmed on Monday.
If the result proves the pool is safe to use it will reopen on Tuesday, the spokesman said.
However, if the pool is still unsafe to use it will be drained and then refilled, which will mean it is likely to reopen on Saturday, August 25, he added.
