The Ministry of Culture, Youth and Sport is intensifying work at the Warm Up pool situated in the compound of the National Aquatic Centre as German engineers from Myrtha Pool Incorporated are back in the country to apply finishing touches. Chronicle Sport was reliably informed that the 25-metre pre-fabricated warm-up pool has already been installed and work on the entire project should be completed soon.

The construction of a warm-up pool will ensure that Guyana will comply with international standards, enhancing its capacity to host internationally sanctioned swimming events
In November 2011, then President Bharrat Jagdeo commissioned the 50m state-of-the-art swimming pool at the National Aquatic Centre, which was constructed by Kares Engineering and Myrtha Pool Incorporated, and promised the construction of the warm-up pool to bring Guyana in line with International requirements.
