All we need now is a monorail to go with it...

Used to love going swimming at Black Rock pool back in the day.

The picture feels out of scale to me. To the left of the picture is the volleyball courts, and it looks like the olympic sized swimming pool is as wide as one of the volleyball courts.

It looks like a great idea.
A good option for those that dont like the indoor pools and being Olympic size could maybe attract some official events,charity stuff and also maybe some fun events too.
The most exciting bit I think is the link to the open water swimmers.
The pool will serve as a good middle ground to get people used to being outside and then maybe being tempted to join one of the group's they see operating from the facilities.
It's good that the open water swimmers will be based there too to give advice.
It looks like it could have the feel of a swimming club rather than just a commercial venture.
Hopefully it will be open in winter too for people who want a cold swim.
Excellent.

The third sentence in the report says:

Brighton and Hove city council gave the green light for the heated Olympic-size pool on Wednesday.

The third sentence in the report says:

Yes I saw that,but I wondered if they would switch the heating off to capture the growing interest in cold water swimming during the winter months.
But maybe not.i don't know but it still looks an excellent pool anyway.

A great idea but HEATED! Will cost a fortune to heat. Hope they are going to use renewable energy.

They are probably going to link it to the i360 which will be converted to be a wind turbine ?
