NSC facility set for August date
Staff are in place for when the National Sports Centre swimming pool reopens next month.
There will be a week of testing the new facility and training after handover on Friday 2 August.
However, the leisure pool and new flume rides will remain closed for the foreseeable future until construction issues are sorted.
Political member at the Department of Education, Sport and Culture Lawrie Hooper says it's really important to have the pool open again during the summer school holidays:
