The Swan River is pretty to look at but its mud and menagerie of jellyfish plus algae doesn't make it the most appealing place for a swim.

Its ability to host events are also pretty much limited to debaucherous hen's and buck's party boats that probably cause the nutrient overload in the river that feeds the algae.

The Swan River Deck proposal has a huge swimming pool filled with filtered river water.

Enter the Swan River Deck – an enormous 100-metre long floating facility featuring a swimming pool/lagoon filled with chemical-free filtered river water, public open space and venues for events and exhibitions.

The deck is an ambitious plan by a group of developers, architects, engineers and planners to reconnect people with one of Perth’s most important natural resources.
