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.
