Although the pool still isn't quite finished, there's enough of it there - for instance a big hole with some water in it - to see that it should turn out to be a central attraction for the Conwy area, and further add to the facilities available within the area for swimmers of all ages, young and old alike. The internal layout of the building is modern, clean and has a definite feeling of space to it. Even the viewing stands seem to have a bit more leg room and perhaps more importantly - circulating air - than you typically find in other venues.
The New Llandudno Swim Center - a number of local councillors and residents expressed concern that in the event of a severe flood in Llandudno, the building would be difficult to find due to it's "wave camouflage" design.The only slight problem I noticed was that the car park (which incidentally, is "pay and display" and shared with Venu Cymru next door) was massively flooded last night - so much so that it looked as if they'd actually constructed a separate outdoor pool as part of the whole development.
They should probably sort out the drainage in the car park, if only to prevent any prospective customers from either 1) floating off whilst attempting to enter the building, or 2) returning to their car only to find it jacked up on a pile of dead crabs as a result of a bunch of marauding haddock stealing their tyres.
Members of the Swim Wales governing body perform a spot-check inspection of tiling around the inside of the new Llandudno warm-up pool, only to find that the local Cosa Nostra swimming jamboree had been there earlier in the day.Other than this minor problem - which admittedly is still in keeping with the aquatic theme of the new building - it looks to me as if this was most definately 6 million clams well spent. I might even learn to swim myself.
