Some municipalities have developed strategies specific to the use of pools within their purview. The City of Mississauga had their aquatic strategy SPLASH developed and approved in 2009. The plan articulates the current use of the pool stock and proposes structural changes, the closing of school operated pools, the relocation of pools in adjacent community centres, and the offering of one school pool to the aquatic sport community for exclusive use. While these strategies are specific to a municipality and a unique set of circumstances they provide some options for consideration and a glimpse at a thorough review of the provision of aquatic recreational/sport activity within a community.

The City of Toronto has undergone a three phased review of the provision of swimming pools considering capacity and use, geographic location, age, condition, community input and provides a hierarchy of the types of swimming pools that can be provided to ensure a well rounded provision system.

These strategies have taken a thorough review of the aquatic needs in a community and provide a detailed examination and thoughtful recommendations for the future.
