Worthing's pool moves into fast lane
Plans for Worthing’s new £17 million swimming pool and leisure complex have moved into the fast lane with a planning application due to be submitted by the end of May.
Following the planning process contractors are expected to start building work on site in April 2011 with the complex completed by February 2013.
Leader of Worthing Borough Council, said:
“In these difficult financial times we have to get maximum value for our £17 million budget. The town has waited many years for its new pool and it is now becoming a reality. We will end up with enhanced facilities and the best health and fitness suite on the south coast.
“Specifications and costings are also being developed by the design team to ensure the town gets as much as it can for its money.”
Wilkinson Eyre Architects 
were appointed to design this new swimming pool and leisure complex following a RIBA competition in September 2009.
The new pool complex will include a six lane, 25 metre competition pool, a combined learner/diving pool with one and three metre boards, indoor leisure pool with flume, outdoor waters, a health and fitness centre, café and flexible studio space for other activities.
Details of the leisure waters are currently being finalised as are proposals for the adjoining areas to the east and west of the new pool.
The site, located adjacent to the west of the existing Aquarena on the seafront and close to the town centre, presents an exciting development opportunity on a unique seafront site. The design aims to maximise the potential of the site with ‘ribbons’ of accommodation flowing from north to south to emphasise the connection between land and sea with an outside terrace opening up the façade to animate the beachfront elevation and enlivening this prominent location in line with the Council’s aspirations for an Active Beach Zone .

Please note : that some of these plans may be small and very difficult to read on screen on this web page. We have had to shrink them to keep download times down for those on slower Internet connections. You can however download the Adobe PDF files of the floor plans and elevations where they are viewable at a larger size and where the text is easier to read too.
