Comments on: Phased Re-opening for Crystal Palace National Sports Centre http://palacemag.co.uk/news/reopeningnsc/ news from shadow of the transmitter SE19 Sat, 12 Jun 2010 01:28:53 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.1 By: Chris http://palacemag.co.uk/news/reopeningnsc/#comment-8 Chris Thu, 30 Apr 2009 14:53:20 +0000 http://www.the-palace-mag.co.uk/?p=628#comment-8 Well, I have just come back from my first swim session at the pool for 18 months. I was hoping to be the first one in to try the new facilities but there were five stalworts there before me. Although there is still a lot of building work going on in the sports centre itself the 'wet changing rooms' are completed. They would not look out of place as a Soho Bar never mind a changing room in Crystal Palace. Work on the main pool has been completed and four of the lanes were open for swimming today. There is a new state-of-the art timing system and scoreboard along with Olympic standard starting blocks and electronic touch pads. Swimming 50m laps again was a bit of a shock to the system!
