After reading the thread, “bad pools” I can relate! My swim team has been cut to two lanes-making it difficult for 10-15 people to lap swim. We have had several problems including swimming against bugs who swim faster than we do, pool temperature at a constant 86 degrees, and a difficult club manager. We have tried talking with the club; however, it is the only pool in town. We have discussed the idea of building a pool; however, we have no idea where to begin. Our goal is to build a competitive pool that the high school, age group, and masters teams could use for practices and competitions. We are in a great location—a city of 250,000 and several small towns in the surrounding area. We would like to bring several new “aquatics” ideas to this area. We are only 10 years behind the rest of the world! We are having a difficult time finding a “ball park” estimate of what it would cost for a 50m pool with a diving well. Does anyone have some suggestions of where we should start? Thanks!!
Should cut the cost of construction.
Apparently a training pool costs 60K for 25 meters. Not including the cost of the building and plumbing and such and installation.
Emmett pointed out a while back that pools can try to be too much. His point was that instead of one big 50 meter pool it is wise to have a warm pool for water aerobics and a separate one for swimming, possibly even a third that is up around 90degrees for the arthritis classes (very popular at our place) which need temperatures higher than the water aerobics folks.
