Swimmers left out in the cold

The tenants of the Deakin Pool have decided to close up business because of their failure to run a business, however, the future of the pool is not yet known.

Read my story! It describes the pool/hs although we never did ascertain if it was olympic sized or not. Seemed awfully short to me. Quite a lot of grass, too. It’s not a bad pool, apart from the unfortunate architecture.

Deakin pool got a gym put into it about 10 years ago. The big pool was still there too. It was on the grimy side even then.

Is Qbn pool outdoor – any grass to sit on? KIddie pool?

There’s always the Queanbo Pool! Or Pooh.

I actually thought that the Deakin pool had closed about 10 years ago until someone told me otherwise. Last I heard all those years ago was that they converted it all into a gym, maybe I was just imagining things..

An excellent rebuttal of my post Steady Eddie. You have defended yourself with flair and conviction.

Whats wrong with the phillip pool? i took my daughter there in summer and thought it was great.

Steady Eddie doesn’t personally like the Phillip pool and thus because Steady Eddie’s particular opinion doesn’t seem to accord with the intersection of supply and demand, Steady Eddie wants the Government to be Steady Eddie’s proxy in its use of violence to take over the Phillip pool and have it run according to Steady Eddie’s desires, using our tax dollars of course.

See by advocating for the Government to step in, Steady Eddie can pretend that Steady Eddie isn’t a thief and ruffian. This is a great result for Steady Eddie.

…and don’t ask me why I’ve suddenly started to really enjoy typing Steady Eddie.

And I think this ridiculous and demented post speaks for itself.

Something needs to be done about that useless Phillip pool which is just a waste of space at the moment. The ACT Govt should take it over and make it an indoor pool like Civic and Tuggeranong. This is surely a case where privatisation has definitely not worked.
