The freestyle area looks so good when it curves all around the wall of the building.

Shame it didn’t stay like that.

It was a monster but there was barely a kink in it. Strange that the builders did a shoddy job with the pool but a near perfect job on the performance bowl. It was by far the best big bowl in the country at the time and the council ruined it.
