I'm a keen swimmer and use it often - the best thing about it is its length. All of it is used and appreciated by young and old. Please don't cut it short.

Instead of physiotherapy & osteopathy, my arthritis is kept under control by swimming laps before they shorten the pool. Nothing can benefit the council more than to have agile, healthy retirees not breaking their bones & being a burden on the NHS. Land is a premium in West London, but nothing could be more essential & beneficial than having at least a 33 m pool once you have been used to it. Otherwise it is a regression

The pool represents an important asset for the local community, including the numerous school children in the borough. The proposed shortening does not present a compelling case and any plans in this respect should therefore be abandoned.

I swim there 3 or 4 times a week (more if i could) and I absolutely love it. I take my children there to swim and it is such a great family day out for us. Growing up I've great memories of time spent with my dad teaching my brother and i how to swim there every weekend.

To reduce the size of the pool at KLC and any other facilities they have will be doing the local residents a profound disservice. To what are our Council Taxes going towards instead of this vital lifeline to sport in the area?

It all seemed very muddled and we don't see why the "Academy" is effectively being handed over our leisure centre. This is wrong, firstly because we have nowhere to go when closed for rebuilding and also because the community should have priority

By reducing the size of the pool it will mean less people can be accomodated. If the pool has to be shorter then at least build a third pool.

We want to give our children, all the adults and eldery possibility to exercise in a comfortable way. We all know how physical activity helps us in life hence I would like K&Ch Council reconsider the plans for the swimming pool. We all just can't wait to see our new, hopefully improved and definetely not smaller swimming pool at KLC!

Well said. The proposal to shrink the pool to 25m is very disappointing. It smells of small-mindedness and mediocrity. Rather embarrassing to be shrinking the size.
