Since we learnt of its impending closure we've been inundated with people reminiscing about learning to swim at the pool or taking their own children there for swimming lessons.

While there seems to be so much nostalgia attached to this pool it's important not to let it cloud our judgement.

Any indoor pool is expensive to maintain, however this pool in particular has some very large maintenance problems looming which will in turn require a very large cash injection to fix.

While there's a push for Orange City Council to take over the pool's operation, along with the associated costs, this seems an unlikely outcome although you can never can underestimate people power.
