Oxford swimming pool plans submitted
A planning application for a new £8.5m competition-standard swimming pool in Blackbird Leys, Oxford, have been submitted to the local authority.
Facilities at the FaulknerBrowns Architects-designed venue will include an eight-lane, 25m pool with moveable floor; a teaching pool; and 'fun water' with jets and sprays. Oxford City Council is aiming to create a venue able to provide casual swimming facilities, while fulfilling the city's needs for a competition-standard pool.
The pool is due for completion in 2012 and will be located at the existing Blackbird Leys Leisure Centre, replacing Temple Cowley and Blackbird Leys pools.
