Is anyone else fearing for their swim program due to the upcoming enforcement of the Virginia Graeme Baker Pool & Spa Safety Act?
I swim in Massachusetts, and there's a possibility our pool will have to close due to compliance issues.
Anyone else dealing with this? We've been calling our legislators and doing whatever we can, but I think it needs to be a national effort.
Thoughts?
I swim at UMASS, and apparently, the attorneys there did not find a way to keep their three pools open. It's been a nightmare, frankly. And since everything had to go through the state, and the grates are all L-shaped, they had to put everything out to bid, open the bids, then deal with the whole production and installation process. We have been told that February is the earliest we can expect to be back in there.
In the meantime, we are all making the best of it and losing our swim conditioning little by little...
