The disused shelter for rescue forces at the edge of the Erlenbach school campus had disappeared under an overgrown hill and a sports field over the years. From outside, the only identifiable markings were two entries dug into the hillside. It was just waiting on a new lease on life. The lack of swim lessons for the children of the lake community and the site?s proximity to the school made it the perfect location for partial redevelopment into a pool for beginners. A selective tender was created in 2012 to find a suitable general planning team for the building project.
