I'm venting... Community Politics and Swimming.

The community I live in has 2 High School pools that are closed about 90 percent of the time do to the differences of opinion between the 2 "Pool Directors". There are no public swim times and our Masters Team has not been able to get pool time in over a month. It is really frustrating. Being new to the community I don't really want to make waves but the whole thing just makes me so frustrated. Writing this has actually helped a little. Has anyone else encountered such an issue? Please share...

  • Matt, I see you so rarely that sadly the last time was the "vision" I was left with.....sorry..but it was kinda funny and Priscilla and I had a good time harrassing you about it! I would love to see someone like Mr. Whitten put together a guide to saving swimming at this level much as he did for college. Here in Evergreen the local rec center has been so effective at NOT supporting swimming that a fairly developed masters team has fallen apart and the age group/high school coach finally laft after 18 years. Needless to say there's a decent pool and oppurtuntiy but rec center doesn't see it that way.
