Worthing Swimming Pool
Shortlist Announced

A shortlist of six has been chosen from 109 expressions of interest, to go through to the design phase of the Worthing Swimming Pool competition. 

They are :

Allford Hall Monaghan Morris, London

Feilden Clegg Bradley, London

Thomas Heatherwick, London with Saville Jones, Worthing

Pringle Richards Sharratt, London

Ian Simpson Architects, London

Wilkinson Eyre Architects, London

The new Swimming pool will provide an 8 lane 25 metre pool, a combined learner/diving pool, indoor pools, with rapids and flumes, and outdoor leisure waters, a health and fitness centre, café, crèche and flexible space for other activities.   The Council is keen 'to create a new swimming complex for Worthing which would be a first class leisure facility for the town. It should also be a landmark building demonstrating civic pride and status'. 

The winner will be chosen following a final assessment which will take place on 25th June.
