Councillors were told at a meeting that a full project team has been selected to design and build both facilities.
The Wellbeing Hub and swimming pools will be built alongside a new Lochies School, specifically designed to meet the needs of children and young people with severe and complex needs, at the Pavilions in Alloa West.
The facility will offer accessible sport, health, learning and development, and leisure opportunities, providing a space where the local community and visitors can connect with each other and to the surrounding outdoor environment.

The project is being managed for Clackmannanshire Council by hub East Central Scotland with principal contractor Robertson Construction Central East, JM Architects, Blyth & Blyth civil and structural engineers and BakerHicks mechanical and electrical engineers.
Green credentials and sustainability will be at the heart of the design and construction of the new facility which will be built to Passivhaus standards, where super energy-efficient measures and providing a comfortable environment are an integral part of the process.
Councillor Scott Harrison, spokesperson for sports, leisure and active living, said: "I am delighted that a design team has been selected to deliver our ambitious plans for a new Wellbeing Hub and Lochies School.
"This is a key step on the journey to delivering these exciting facilities which will bring huge benefits to the health and wellbeing of residents and visitors to Clackmannanshire.
"I look forward to hearing from the newly-appointed team as they make progress in the coming months."
