An unheated pool, funded laregely by public subscription. The pool had a plastic liner. In order to allow for shifting and subsidence, it had been left deliberately looser and slacker than necessary, and at the end of the season the sheet was sent back to the manufacturers for trirmning. However, when duly returned to Bletchley it was found to have hardened in the cold weather, and the subsequent work had to be postponed until the warmer months. Even so, the liner would prove less than adequate and, as a remedial measure, a surface coating of fibreglass had to be applied.
The pool was covered and re-opened 4th July 1969 before being replaced in 1974 with an iconic pyramid design building housing a new pool and thereafter with a new leisure centre that stands today.
