The SASSOT Facilities Framework proposals relate to pools which are 25m x 6lane minimum size – the requirement for local swimming galas. The map atFigure 10 shows only those pools which are a minimum of 25 m and 4 lanes.

Of these, only Fenton Manor is suitable for competitive swimming.Nortoft Partnerships Ltd <strong>Stoke</strong>-on-Trent Page | 125Sport & Physical Activity Strategy 2009-2016October 2009
