IST’s elementary school pool was first built in 1969. After forty years the pool has recently undergone some much needed renovations to bring it up to international standards. The cramped decks have been replaced by a spacious poolside area. The old, dull tiles have been replaced and the pumps upgraded.  The changing rooms and showers have been refurbished.  New spectator galleries have been added to bring the facility up to world-class standards.    The refurbishment of IST’s pool at the elementary school, together with completion of a new science building on the secondary campus, are the first steps in planned redevelopment of the two IST campuses.
