More people would use the pool if Public hours were increased and the City Council showed some interest in promoting the pool.

There is scope for adding additional services such as:

* mother & Toddler Swimming
* public swimming classes for adults and children,
* birthday parties at the pool,
* water aerobics, Easter & Summer Camps
