Hi everyone,
Besides masters swimming, I am part of a group that is trying to get our fair city to build a new pool in our city. All of the pools in our city are badly out of code ( built in 1961) and there is only one indoor pool (currently closed for renovation) that serves our citizens. The city has constructed two water parks (slides, fountains, zero entry wading pool, two 20 yard 3 feet deep lap lanes) that are only open during summer.
The city got a $11M windfall that was earmarked for a indoor aquatic center. Unfortunately, the city decided not use the money for a 50 meter indoor pool, but instead directed that a bigger water park be built.
Because the elections replaced several members of the city council and the mayor, there is a possibility to revise the plans.
We believe that we can "sell" a 25 meter by 25 yard pool as a replacement for the water slide/play area. A 50 meter pool may be too expensive given the economy and the increase in construction costs.
If some of you have plans for a pool or have been in similar situations, please PM me ASAP. We think that if we go the council work meeting and present our alternatives with a pre-existing plan, we may be able to change the city's plans and replace the water slide play area with a moderate sized pool.
Thanks in advance,
