The Belmont Plaza Pool built in 1968 is now permanently closed because of structural safety problems.
The new pool will cost between $54 million to $62 million,
depending on added features, and construction would take two to three years to complete. There are talks of a temporary pool to be put up in the meantime but nothing has been approved by the city yet.
An alternative to the Belmont Plaza Pool for kids is the Deep Blue Scuba and Swim Center. Located just a few feet from the Belmont Plaza Pool the Deep Blue Swim Center offers a state of the art facility with a heated indoor swimming pool.
Free evaluation is offered to all students to try the swimming program prior to signing up. This free swim class is a great way to see the facility, meet the instructors, and to get a feel for what the lessons will be like. The instructors will evaluate the student’s skill level, determine where she/he is at in their learning to swim process, and design a personalized program to progress the student to becoming a fully confident and competent swimmer
