50 Metre Pool.

At their meeting on 7 September the Hastings Borough Council Cabinet considered a report on the Hastings and Rother Leisure Facilities Strategy.  The recommendation was that the Hastings elements of the report prepared by consultants be adopted as an aspirational strategy for leisure facility provision in the town.

Following lobbying by the club the consultants had accepted that their interpretation of the future demand data was incorrect and that there was a shortfall of swimming provision in the town of some 8 x 25 metre lanes.  However, despite the likelihood that the closure of Summerfields would mean 14 – 15 lanes would be required to meet demand, they only recommended provision of a 25 x 8 lane facility.  Acceptance of the report would therefore have ruled out any chance of a 50 metre pool, split into 2 x 25 metres by a moveable centre boom, in the town despite this being the most effective way of providing the water area required.
