Mumbai has seen a recent disruption in its swimming facilities. The Priyadarshini Indira Gandhi Sports Complex in Mulund has been closed since August 16th for necessary repairs to its filtration plant. The plant, which is around 40 years old, is in need of an upgrade to improve the water quality of the pool. The repair process is expected to take around one and a half months, with the pool projected to reopen by the end of September.
Other BMC-operated pools such as Shivaji Park, Chembur, Kandivali, and the Shahaji Raje Sports Complex in Andheri are still operating as normal. The BMC is also in the process of constructing new pools at Worli Hill Reservoir, Chacha Nehru Garden in Malad West, Indira Gandhi Entertainment Park, Kondivita, and Rajarshi Shahu Maharaj Kridangan in Tagore Nagar.
In order to make the swimming facilities more accessible for citizens, the BMC has introduced online membership options for both new and existing members. This system includes monthly and quarterly payment plans, eliminating the need for physical forms and waiting in queues.
Overall, with the BMC’s efforts to upgrade the existing facilities and construct new ones, citizens of Mumbai can look forward to more convenient access to swimming pools in the near future.
