The Cambridge Pool project – a sneak peek at the new facility

A video providing a first glimpse inside the highly-anticipated Cambridge Pool has been released this week showing a nearly-complete 25-metre pool, spa, toddler pool and hydrotherapy pool.

The video, which was shared on Waipā District Council’s Facebook page, shows exciting progress on site as contractors enter the final stages of construction on a number of the assets within the facility.

Waipā mayor Jim Mylchreest said the project was nearing 85 per cent completion.

“Things are really taking shape at the pool now and there has been some great progress,” he said.

“It can be quite hard to visualise what is going on behind the walls so this video is an exciting sneak peek at what our contractors have been up to inside the facility.

“While we still have a fair way to go until its complete, things are absolutely tracking in the right direction.”

In the video, contractors can be seen laying the final lining on the 25-metre pool, located at the heart of the new building, tiling the new spa pool and inserting reinforcement into the foundation of the outdoor splash pad.

Mylchreest said remedial work was still needed on the outdoor 50-metre pool to bring it up to standard.

“With some fine weather and bit of good luck, we are hopeful this work will soon be completed, leaving us with an asset that will be enjoyed by residents for years to come.”
