Hi all,

Does somebody know what the construction in the picture below was for in the origin?

It is along the Salthill promenade, just in front of the Galway Bay Hotel.

Thank you!

Is it a saltwater swimming pool?

Brilliant. I had forgotten about those diving boards and ladders.

"In the late seventies the pools began to fill up with sand and could no longer be used as pools and eventually, the corporation covered them in concrete and that is how they have remained for almost 40 years. "
