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."
Regarding the December "Long Beach" (indoor) SCM meet.
Looks like this got snuck onto the swim meet calendar without anyone noticing.

I've been trying to swim at this pool, but they have crummy hours for your average public, drop in, swimmer. I'll have to make extra effort now that this pool is a confirmed location. Lucky me, I have relatives less than a mile or two from this pool. Hopefully I can stay with them during the meet and not drive back and forth from Long Beach to Commerce.
Splish is only a couple of blocks away from here too. Hopefully they can be the vendor of choice for the swim meet. That would be fun.
Thanks for the update. Is it supposed to be a fast pool? Do you know if it's 25 SCM widthwise or would there be a bulkhead involved? This might be the first year I can actually make that meet.
