Competitive Batch Swimmers Get Fit with New Gym at Yemmekere Swimming Pool Complex.
The New Gym at Yemmekere Swimming Pool Complex
The Yemmekere swimming pool complex is set to welcome a new addition – a state-of-the-art gym. The gym, which is expected to be opened within the next 10 days, will cater to the needs of competitive batch swimmers.
The pool was inaugurated by the then Chief Minister of Karnataka, Siddhartha Bettaiah, in 2017.
The Birth of a State-of-the-Art Facility
The international-standard swimming pool was a long-awaited dream for the people of Mangalore. The city had been without a modern swimming pool for over two decades, and the lack of such a facility had hindered the development of swimming as a sport in the region. The pool was built to cater to the needs of the local swimmers, as well as to host national-level swimming competitions.
Key Features of the Pool
The pool is open to the public and is free to use. The pool is open year-round, but the hours of operation may vary depending on the day of the week and the season.
