SWIMMING POOL FOR WU KWAI SHA

The Chinese YMCA has received a grant of $300,000 from the

Lotteries Fund for the construction of a swimming pool at its popular

Youth Village at Wu Kwai Sha.

The village provides a variety of recreational and camping

facilities for young people and family groups throughout the year.

Last summer more than 40,000 people used the facilities.

However, there is no satisfactory swimming area, as the beach

is considered unsafe, particularly for beginners. It is also strewn

with rocks.

A swimming pool at the village will help go a long way towards

taking the danger out of this popular sport, as it will be used for

teaching beginners, life-saving instruction and general recreation,

The new pool is expected to be ready for use next summer.
