“It’s about time,” said Mayor Marianne Alto. “I do strongly believe that had a previous council, in which I was part, in the majority had a little more courage, we would all be swimming in a pool by now.”

Instead we are going to be swimming in red ink.

Neighbouring facilities bracing for impact of extended Crystal Pool closure
Both Saanich and Oak Bay are anticipating a crush of demand for pool space from swimmers who will be without a pool for a few years while the Crystal Pool replacement is being built
Somebody should just build an outdoor pool somewhere, like in an existing park. Better cities have them.

I would definitely use an outdoor pool. I remember in the 1960s going on driving holidays with my parents to the interior. Every darn small town we passed through had an outdoor pool. I was very envious.

I grew up using outdoor pools in Ontario and lots of swimming in lakes.

Crush of demand? Didn't you tell us there were very few, relatively, regular users of the existing pool.

I did, and I stand by that.
The way to deal with this, of course, is to raise your rates at peak times and discount off-peak, as well as expanding hours slightly.
Oak Bay is only open 6am to 10pm. Move that to 4am to 1am.
Gordon Head is generally 6am-10pm.
