* retiling of both pools and poolside areas
* repair of all water damage and redecoration of all internal walls
* replacement of the old changing area and basket clothes storage with a modern changing area with attractive cubicles and lockers

* new toilets

Aberdeen City Council's Convener of Education, Culture and Sport Committee Councillor Jenny Laing, alongside representatives of Torry Community Council, visited the site for a tour.
Speaking about the project, Ms Laing said: "The Council has been keen to keep the local community informed on the development and while the refurbishment is carried out we will continue to engage with individuals and groups in Torry to develop a programme for the facility, which best meets local needs. The pool is going to be a great local asset and I am looking forward to coming back when it opens later in the year."
Sport Aberdeen will manage the swimming pool on behalf of Aberdeen City Council.
