| Description |
Føroyskt: Langhylurin í Vági er her í ferð við at blíva bygdur. Hann lat upp alment hin 17. oktober 2015. English: The photo was taken early in the morning 30 May 2013. This was to be the first 50-meter swimming pool in the Faroe Islands, here it is under construction. Much of the work is made by volunteers, including many of the swimmers from the island but also people from other islands. It opened officially on 17 October 2015. To the right of the building (not visible on this photo) is the SEV powerplant in Vágur. The reason that the 50-meter swimming pool is being built here on Oyrarnar in Vágur in an area which is mainly for industy is that the swimming pool will be heated with until the building of Páls Høll was unused heat from the SEV power plant and therefore it is not be so expensive to heat the water in the pool.
Other reasons for the pool being built her in Vágur, other than getting cheap heating, is that the best Faroese swimmer ever Pál Joensen, comes from this village, he has won medals at World Championships and European Championships and competed at the Olympics, and he never had a 50-meter pool to practice here in the Faroe Islands. He has now moved to Copenhagen in Denmark to study and swim, but this swimming pool is a good investment for the other swimmers in Suðuroy island and for swimmers from the other islands of the Faroes. And Pál Joensen's coach Jón Bjarnason is still here. The building is named after Pál Joensen, it is called Páls Høll (The Hall of Pál). |
