Residents in Port Talbot and Aberavon have been given more time to comment on the local authority's plans for a new £13.6m leisure complex to replace the former Afan Lido.
Neath Port Talbot Council has extended its consultation period until 18 July, with the project to provide a "focal point" for the area's ongoing regeneration.
The Holder Mathias Architects-designed facility is to include a fitness suite with weight equipment and dance studio, as well as a 25m swimming pool and a four-court sports hall.
A new facility is to be developed in Aberavon after the former Afan Lido was destroyed by fire in December 2009. A public meeting also recently took place to discuss the plans.
