Dartmouth Indoor Heated

Swimming Pool

This website shows the sort of Heated Indoor Swimming Pool Dartmouth could have in a few years time.  For a little under two million pounds the MCTi is confident that Dartmouth can soon reach its dream.  In the MCTi survey a heated pool was voted the number one priority by residents of Dartmouth.

The pool illustrated on this page is at Crewkerne, Somerset and has  1) a 25M main pool,  2) a mothers' and toddlers' section and  3) a self service cafeteria with large open windows for parents to snack and supervise their children. We believe these three areas are the key to making the proposed pool design viable for Dartmouth.

A dedicated team of Councillors and MCTi members visited Crewkerne pool on May 10th 2006.  These pictures, taken by kind permission of Crewkerne Swimming Pool and copyright Dave Cawley, show just what a great asset the pool would be if built in Dartmouth.
 

News January 2009.  The photograph above shows members of the Dartmouth Indoor Pool Trust and its Steering group, meeting with local councillors at the site of the proposed new indoor pool at the Norton Leisure Centre.

Sir Geoffrey Newman the chairman of the groups said he would like to congratulate Cllr Brazil and Cllr Hawkins for securing the provisional Devon County Council grant of £1.5m towards the construction of a new heated indoor swimming pool in Dartmouth.

This grant is towards a £2.89m construction design which is now completed and which we can now discuss in detail. The grant is also dependant and on the other construction costs being in place and we can now discuss these with South Hams District Council, the Town Council and outside Sporting organisations

A sustainable pool business plan has also been completed by the Trust's Steering Group supported by interim grants from the 3 councils and the Dartmouth and District MCTI , and this is for an operating budget of £285,000 per annum

The Dartmouth and District Indoor Pool Trust is now legally constituted and the 6 trustees and their officers will meet regularly to oversee the progress of the project with a view to starting construction in 2009
