The swimming pool will be put into operation in the city of Shuya, Ivanovo region, in December, said the head of the regional department of sports and tourism Nikolai Zotov at a meeting of the regional government.

The head of the department reported that, as part of the targeted program, the foundations of sports and recreation centers with a universal gym and swimming pool are being laid in the Privolzhsky and Rodnikovsky districts. In Ivanovo, a site is being prepared for the construction of a Palace of Team Sports, and construction of a football field with artificial turf will soon begin at the Spartak stadium in Shuya. According to him, the total amount of funding for the program in 2012 will be 296.7 million rubles, where 217.2 million rubles are federal budget funds and 79.5 million rubles are regional funds.
