Mysuru: Chief Minister Siddaramaiah who had sanctioned international standard swimming pool in Chamundi Vihar Stadium when he was deputy chief minister 13 years ago will inaugurate the much-delayed international standard swimming pool on July 15.

Apart from inaugurating the pool, Siddaramaiah will lay foundation stone for tennis academy which will be constructed at a cost of Rs 1 Crore with two synthetic courts, a gymnastics centre will be set up at Rs 2 Crore and multi-gym facility for the members of women’s sports hostel at Rs 2 Crore all in Chamundi Vihar Stadium premise.

The international standard swimming pool which is constructed at a cost of Rs 4.97 Crore includes a main pool of 50 mtr x25 mtrs besides a warm pool and a children’s pool. A balancing tank, filtration unit and a green room have also been built. This swimming pool will be only the third swimming pool for general public in Mysuru. The other pools are University of Mysore swimming pool in Saraswathipuram and another at JP Nagar which is a joint venture between Mysuru City Corporation and a private partner. However, swimming pool at Chamundi Vihar Stadium will give public of east and north Mysuru access to it and reduce the burden on the University of Mysore swimming pool. To conserve water, rainwater and roof water harvesting facilities have also been provided.

Chief Minister Siddaramaiah will inaugurate the pool and later will lay foundation stone for other sports facilities on Saturday at 5 pm.
