This six-lane competition pool was superbly designed by Hawkins Brown, the state of the art sustainable timber construction replaced the fire struck former building on site. The construction of the pool was led by fit out contractor Gilbert- Ash who utilised timber materials that provided an efficient, fast and carbon neutral construction to both the structure and internal finishes.

The timber construction had several challenges of a swimming pool environment. The Laudescher LINEA 2.4.3 (aw-0.90, Absorption Class-A, NRC–0.90) manufactured for its properties to not swell, absorb or mutate while bringing in the usual high quality acoustic properties that absorbs the reflective sounds that will promote greater communication in the pool environment which is vital for teaching and ultimately the safety of the students, teachers, and coaches.
