Summary
Designers showed a plan keeping the historic bathhouse and main pool (fixed to true 25-yard lap lanes and a safer diving well) while adding a new leisure pool with zero-depth entry, a lazy river, and a splash area. Construction would start after the 2027 season so the pool reopens in 2028 without losing a summer.
