We must try to avoid more pools of chaos
• IT’S bad enough that a rare and wonderful indoor Olympic pool was sacrificed for a 25-metre pool at Swiss Cottage.
Now you report the learners’ pool has been closed nearly 20 per cent of its three-year life (Swimming pool problems go even deeper, November 19).
Euro Pools, the contractor for the pools blame the original design “by a different company” for the problems and closures.
They say “we would have put forward a different design”.
It is strange that such a reputable company would undertake a design that they suspected might cause problems. And why would Camden not listen to it if it made its reservations known, particularly when the original designer company went bankrupt?
Your article reports that Euro Pools has (perhaps on the back of Swiss Cottage) won the Olympic pool contract.
The Olympics Committee should get a written confirmation from Euro Pools that it approves the design. That way, the Olympics Committee will know who to blame for repairs and closures in 2013.
