Hard to believe it's 20 years old. Needs £31m refurb now.
Here's a picture of it looking very nice when it opened

odd fact - irrespective of the swimmer, that was built at the time with only 8 lanes (not the 10 it should have been) because of some squealing by another local authority who wanted to keep their facility as the only 'world championship standard' pool in the UKSteve N | 21MY Defender | 08MY Discovery 3 (history) | 06MY Discovery 3 (ancient history)

I would imagine some bits have sunk in the last 20 years. Richard

Never been in it but if it's anything like the motorways round here, it will have 9 narrower lanes and 1 for wider loads. .

So not like nearby Farnworth baths where they made it 24m long when the norm was 25 so couldn't hold competitions there..

Ha ha - better even than that was the mangnificent Sharston Baths on the edge of Wythenshawe - the pool was designed to be 50m long... and it was constructed as such until someone came along put all the tiles in and it agonisingly ended up centimetres short!

Not much of an uplift, in resolution that is.
I thought this was about a place that sells fish tanks.
Not every Christmas mind. Don't want to turn soft like Southern jessies.
