The existing facility is said to be dilapidated, with plans for a new pool progressing.
Calls are being made to turn a midlands swimming pool into a museum.
The existing facility in Mullingar is said to be dilapidated due to age, and can no longer meet the needs of the town.
However, plans for a new Regional Sports Complex in Robinstown are progressing, which could see those demands met.
Fianna Fáil Councillor Bill Colentine proposed the idea, once the new swimming pool is ready and functional.
The motion received support from fellow councillors, who agreed Westmeath has history in music, sport and military that deserves a space to be celebrated.
It was also the consensus that, when compared to other towns across the country, Westmeath is lacking in an area dedicated to its history and culture.
However, other proposals for the site, including a boxing club, or youth centre were also highlighted.
Official proposals for what to do with the premises will be considered at a later time.
Classic museums are becoming a feature of the past as interpretive centres take over their spot, according to a midlands historian.
The location has been described as ideal and the property is already owned by Westmeath County Council.
Mullingar historian and history and English teacher, James McKevitt, says Mullingar is well known for it's military history, music and transport:
