The Joyce Fromson Pool at the University of Manitoba has closed.
A leak was discovered in April, leading the university to close the facility. An assessment of the leak found that the pool had reached the end of its lifespan and needed to be replaced.
This also led to the cancellation of swim programming run out of the space, affecting multiple groups, including approximately 6,500 Mini U campers, 500 swim lesson participants, recreational pool times through Recreation Services, the Bisons swim team and the Junior Bisons swim programs.
Everyone affected by the closure has been contacted, and the UM is working to find new locations for training needs for their high-performance programs.
The University is currently exploring options for replacement. In the meantime, the pool will remain closed.
