The Moorways swimming complex was initially expected to cost £20m. Since then the project has developed and the council has agreed to fund extra development costs now expected to be around £33m.

The design proposals for the new centre include a 10-lane, 50m pool capable of staging regional competitions, as well as a teaching pool, a water play area, a fitness suite, studios, café and other facilities.
