Kingswim, a swimming school, had also opened a sustainability-prioritising swimming pool in September, within what will become the new Manor Lakes precinct located in south-western Melbourne.
The facility is developed and built by Architecture HQ, Ranfurlie Asset Management, Case Meallin and Newport Construction.
The 900 square metre facility will cost about $5 million and be built over 11 months.
The school will also feature a natural timber finish, with an interior built to prioritised natural light and will feature drought tolerant gardens and three rainwater tanks that help generate recycled water for flushing toilets. The swimming school will feature a colour palette to match the Manor Lakes Shopping Centre and other facilities in the precinct.
Kingswim executive manager Katie Adams hopes the development will serve as an example of how the leisure sphere can take on sustainability.
“We have received an overwhelmingly positive response from locals in our first weeks and could not be more pleased with the final product. It was fantastic to work with Ranfurlie Asset Management and the wider teams to execute this premium addition to the local community,” Adams said.
The swimming school will only be open to those participating in swimming classes.
