Legacy pool set for Geelong Leisurelink installation

Legacy pool set for Geelong Leisurelink installation
May 8, 2009

Construction of the new Leisurelink centre in Geelong, is nearing completion, with the base recently being poured ready for the installation of a 50 metre legacy swimming pool from the 2007 World Swimming Championships.

The $31 million development was recently inspected by Member for South Barwon, Michael Crutchfield and City of Greater Geelong Mayor John Mitchell, with Councillor Mitchell stating "the centre will be huge; it will house a 50-metre pool, Gold Coast theme park style waterslides and a wide range of other gym and aquatic facilities."

In addition to the legacy pool, when complete the centre will offer a gym and aerobics complex; and an indoor waterpark. Features of the waterpark will include the Cannon Bowl Waterslide (a 12 metre high slide featuring a large bowl which swirls swimmers around before dropping them out of a hole into a pool); the Black Hole Waterslide (a 12 metre high dark water tube ride); and a Water Adventure Park featuring water cannons, an overhead tipping bucket and a spinning water wheel.

The area will also offer a children's splash pad with rubber flooring play space with water shooting from fountains and jets at random; a learn to swim pool; a hydro pool with ramp access; a spa and sauna, multi-purpose rooms and separate pool and gym changing facilities.
