Yes, yes, I know... you all think that your pool is the worst (except those that train at UT or IUPUI). But before you vote, consider this: - indoor 6-lane 25 yard pool, L-shaped - built in 1969, with negligible upgrades since - heated to at least 85 degrees - operated by the city at a significant loss every year - closes for three to four weeks every year (two for upgrades - aka cleaning - and two for "budgetary reasons") - shared by the city, the high school, the local university and the swim club - vacuumed once a week ("whether it needs it or not") - lifeguards cannot be moved from their plastic chairs on the deck - for lap swim, only two lane lines put in - not in lifeguards' job description to put in more - patrons blatantly ignore the lane signs indicating "fast", "medium" and "slow" - lifeguards do not enforce the above - patrons of all types refuse to circle swim, and instead swim next to each other (again, with few or no lane lines) - healthy mix of college girls in bikinis, college boys in board shorts, noodlers, and elementary backstrokers Poll opens now.
