IMMING POOL THOUGHTS

canville, Saskatchewan was a town of
out 800 people when the question of
swimming pool arose.

t the outset, it was obvious that an
tdoor pool could be used during the
mmer - 3 months at best. Of that
ree months, cool, stormy or windy
rather would curtail swimming for

to half that time, not to mention
ime to clean the dust and debris
rom the water.

y then not expend a bit more and
over the pool (like Dauphin, Man.)
d extend the season by at least 2
mths and allow use in inclement
eather?

he next, and eventual step was to
jld an insulated cover and allow
peration in all except for the very
pldest days.

25 metres is a standard
¢ngth with the number of lanes variable
» suit finances (try four).

feature worth considering is use of
high laminated wood arch structure,
ffset to allow installation of one and
hree metre board. Cedar decking, vapor
arrier, insulation, plywood and 210 lb.
hingles finished the roof.

mmarison by cost-per-swim between an
pen, covered and year-round pool is an
lightening exercise.
