Myrtha pools has been a sponsor of Canadian Swimming since 1999 and has agreed to lend its assistance to the Nova Scotia club network as a facilities resource. Dan Thompson 1980 Olympian in swimming is the Country manager for Myrtha in Canada and will be the primary contact.
Whether you are looking for advice on new bocks, timing system, a headwall, bulkheads, renovation of an existing tank or trying to develop community support for a new pool dan is eager to discuss how to start the process and give you order of magnitude pricing.
A consultation could be as simple as knowing how to engage with master plan consultants, how to best collaborative with other community stakeholders to how to lobby local counsellors, MMP’s and MP’s for infrastructure grants. Your community might have hired an architect to do design consolation and you need to know what some are must have sport training features for swimming and the other aquatic sports. Or you need help convincing the municipality they need to invest in creating a proper business plan that’s revenue centric for your new aquatic facility.
Whatever the challenge might be Dan and the folks at Myrtha Pools are looking to invest in the Nova Scotia aquatic community to raise the level of expertise within the aquatic community.
