The Royal Commonwealth Pool is currently undergoing works and should be open by the Summer of 2011, where it will eventually be used to stage the diving competitions for the Commonwealth games in 2014, on Glasgow's behalf. However, it is also going to play an important part in preparing the GB swimming team for the Olympics in London in 2012.\nThe pool did need a bit of renovation any how as it was first made for the Commonwealth games in the 1970s and the decor of the place didn't seem very 21st century, which is essential if live television pictures of a swimming venue are going to be beamed across the world.\nbefore the renovation work started, it was great to have a huge official Olympic sized swimming pool so close to the city centre and the 50 metres swims were a good test of your fitness. There was also diving boards, which I was never brave enough to actually try out. The changing rooms were as Alice says in definite need of a bit of TLC, but this will definitely be happening with the renovation work and I look forward to using it when it's done.
