The first snapshots of a planned new swimming pool for Derby have been released.
Images released by Derby City Council show some of the designs for the Moorways project, which has been the centre of a long-running dispute over funding.
A statement from the authority said it will feature a 50m pool with moving booms and floors, two four-storey flumes and the first "wow ball" wave generator in England.
Moorways - which closed to the public in 2016 in an bid to save £350,000 in annual running costs - has been given a budget of £42m.
The council said it is scheduled to be finished "by late 2021".
Pilot ID project 'stopped people voting'
Press Association
Hundreds of people may have missed out on voting in this year's council elections because of pilot schemes requiring them to prove their identity.
The Electoral Commission said the trial project saw 2,083 voters refused a ballot paper because they weren't carrying the necessary ID, with up to 758 of them not returning to cast their vote.
Broxtowe, Derby and North West Leicestershire were three of the 10 areas involved in the pilot.
Craig Westwood, director of communications, policy and research for the Electoral Commission, said "nearly everyone" in the pilot areas was able to vote and showed the correct ID "without difficulty", but said government needs to "consider carefully the available evidence about the impact of different approaches".
Important questions remain about how an ID requirement would work in practice, particularly at a national poll with higher levels of turnout."
Hammers and angle grinders were used to smash some of the bike's digital panels earlier this year.

Future of city council still to be decided
East Midlands Today
Derby's political parties are due to meet this week to discuss which of them might run the city council.
Last week's local elections left the authority in no overall control, with no party gaining a majority.
There could be a deal between two of them, or the Conservatives might try to run Derby on their own.
A decision is expected by 23 May, in time for the new civic year.
