East Maitland Aquatic Centre won't reopen in 2022 because of major structural damage to the facility's main pool.
The pool's tile bed began to lift in January, with engineering investigations finding significant water loss into the ground and several compliance defects.
Maitland Council is set to consider a report next Tuesday with details on repairs, costs, and a timeframe.
It's hoped the pool will reopen in early 2023 for the second half of summer.
