We have experienced issues with the cage attached to the moveable bulkhead and need to drain the pool to permanently resolve the problem. This cage is intended to prevent people from swimming underneath the bulkhead and under the moveable floor when it is in use.
Overview

Built at a cost of $5.5 million, the Max Bell Regional Aquatic Centre was named to acknowledge the centre's major benefactor, the Max Bell Foundation.
