| We have a shortage of public pools in the UK - and definitely a shortage of Olympic sized ones. So making another shorter and presumably losing the diving boards is going to make teaching and training for british swimmers who compete even harder. Ealing's 50m Gurnell pool has been closed since 2020. That is due to be rebuilt starting soon as 50m - hopefully to Olympic standard (the previous one was 50m but wasn't wide enough to be called Olympic standard). It will be built with a lot of housing and has been very controversial. https://ealing.nub.news/news/local-news/ealing-leisure-centre-to-be-demolished-and-rebuilt-with-water-park-and-300-homes-249994 Swimming is an important life skill and all state school children are supposed to learn how to swim a certain length - many don't manage this due to a shortage of pools - and the tragedies of recent weeks have highlighted this. http://files.localgov.co.uk/swimming.pdf |
