Liberal Democrats councillors warning that any further financial shocks during 2023/24 would lead to services being cut to balance the books.
The city council announced the move as part of the phased reopening of leisure services in Gloucester after the collapse of the Aspire Trust last month.
Councillor Andrew Lewis, cabinet member for culture and leisure, said he hoped the Barton Pool and the Twyver Pool would be reopened by January 1.
The Liberal Democrats have tabled questions to the Conservative cabinet member for culture and leisure asking a series of questions about the future of the swimming pool.
The Liberal Democrats have written to the Mayor and the managing director of Gloucester City Council demanding an emergency meeting is held for councillors to examine the issue.
The announcement to shut the GL1 Leisure Centre and Oxstalls Sports Park comes after charitable trust Aspire went into liquidation.
