It'll be interesting to see what happens when the time's up - I can't believe so much money could be spent on something that's not permanent, though as it stands it couldn't be run as a viable enterprise with a maximum of 160 swimmers per day.<br /><br />I'd love to be there in the winter - can you imagine a swim through the mist on a cold day?VPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02732971362066784175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4793702278130036246.post-48396392538120195342015-08-28T10:41:17.327+01:002015-08-28T10:41:17.327+01:00Aww, thanks for the link, VP.

I loved the look of the swimming pond - great graphics explaining it all outside as well - but I think I'd want slightly warmer weather for a swim than we've had recently! Must be lovely to swim with no chlorine in the water - I always enjoy my bracing dips in the sea when visiting my parents, all that salt and chilly sea temperatures is most invigorating! I hadn't realised that it was an art installation so I hope that the swimming pond is there for a while. Lovely idea for a photo project as well - hope that one comes off!
