Residents of Lewisporte in central Newfoundland Island are getting a new public swimming pool after town council recently finalized the installation site.
According to a report in The Pilot, the swimming pool will be constructed in the town’s recreation complex, near the stadium and bowling alley. To accommodate the swimming pool a playground area nearby the recreation centre may need to be moved, however.
The swimming pool contractor/builder is expected to present their preliminary suggestions on the pool’s layout and cost estimates to council in February. The pool’s size is expected to be approximately 18 m (60 ft) in length and wide enough to accommodate three swimming lanes.
While the swimming pool will not be equipped with a high diving board, council is still considering the idea of including a smaller wading pool for smaller children.
