SECTION TWO:
SO YOU WANT TO DEVELOP A CASE FOR AN AQUATIC SPORT FRIENDLY POOL - GETTING STARTED

2.10 AQUATIC STRATEGIES

Larger municipalities with a significant supply of aquatic facilities develop aquatic strategies to determine the current, future and best use of the aquatic facilities. The City of Mississauga developed a strategy entitled SPLASH! in 2009. The City of Toronto developed a strategy "Everyone in the Pool" in 2008. It is worthwhile exercise to seek out these strategies to understand the extent of these types of studies and look at other promising practices and differing options. For example the City of Mississauga recommended closing 3 school pools and relocating them to community centre sites and also suggested the aquatic sport community take over another school pool once the pool was upgraded to meet their needs. The refurbishment of existing pools is a consideration in the scheme of options.
