Belmont Pool Closed
"On Thursday, January 10th, the City of Long Beach closed the pool indefinitely after a structural analysis found that the pool was “seismically unsafe,” meaning that even a moderate earthquake would cause severe damage to the facility."
I was the last lap swimmer out of the pool on Wednesday the 9th. A friend sent me the link about the closure the next day. I was suppose to do my One Hour Postal Swim at the Belmont Pool on this past Saturday. I moved my Postal Swim to the pool in Seal Beach instead.
I will be keeping an eye on developments on this pool. I live six blocks away and its one of my two primary pools in which I swim. the second pool is at Cal State Long Beach.
If the pool is not open for the December SCM Meet, it would give a chance for other pools in the area to shine.
- Cerritos Olympic Swim & Fitness Center (Indoor)
- Los Angeles Swim Stadium (Outdoor)
- Woollett Aquatic Center (Irvine) (Outdoor)
- Marian Bergstrom Aquatic Complex (Newport Beach) (Outdoor)
- The Benstead Plunge (Torrance) (Outdoor)
- City of Commerce Aquatorium (Brenda Villa Aquatic Center) (Indoor)
There are plenty of options, and plenty of time to plan, or I should say plenty of time to make contigency plans.
Looking forward to this in the next few years: www.presstelegram.com/.../san-pedros-gaffey-street-pool-will-open-again
