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."
It makes no sense to me to have an outdoor competition pool and an indoor rec pool.The other way around makes more sense.If the SPMS Dec. meet isn't at Long Beach it will be a loss for Masters Swimming.If it is outdoors in Dec at Long Beach I doubt I'll be there.
Having swam outdoors in the little warm-up pool at Belmont in January last year, I can tell you, an outdoor swim meet in December in Long Beach would not be a bad thing. (ElaineK, you can chime in with your input :agree:)
I grew up there and it wasn't unusual for me and my friends to swim in the ocean during the Christmas break. A pool would be so much warmer.
