University Unveils New Swimming Pool Plans
Following harsh scaling back on the budget for the new student centre in UCD and concerns over delays to building time, Hugh Brady has today unveiled its new plans for a 50m swimming pool for the university.
Costing just a fraction of the cost mooted for the original design, this new pool complex is, as the designers, UCD Canoe Club, report, "capable of being stowed away within a matter of seconds."
"It's really an ingenious concept," said their Captain in an interview this week. "Instead of a permanent structure, we will simply be funding private handstand tutorials for one of our members, Alison Murray. This will make available a 50m pool-like space that requires negligible civil engineering and can be removed to allow other use of the site by a simple reversal of the handstand."
US gymnast Nastia Liukin has been rumoured to be attached to the training phase of this proect, with the pool expected to be open for business by the start of the 2012 academic year.

david:
all the water sports captains got asked their opinions a few years ago. I submitted a series of proposels like storage room and racks for boats, a low deck and little spot for washing boats to be built in to the original plan.
Right now a team of six or seven engineers and planners are all sitting around my ideas woundering how best to totally ignore them.
Oh well. I'll be a successfull and wealthy "old person" with a drysuit, estate car and, fingers crossed, my own swimming pool.
