There is a new high school being built in my neighborhood, and aside from the general inconveniences that come with construction, there is a light at the end of this tunnel. In March, the pool will be complete (so long as everything goes to plan) and will be open year round. This is great news because this would literally be the only public pool that is within walking distance in my neighborhood. I work with one of the swim coaches for the school, and the coach told me that they are looking forward to finally practice on campus and not having to travel to the local YMCA every day for workouts. Along with this perk, the students will be able to take basic swim courses for PE (something that I believe everybody should do at least once). Because the high school will have its own pool, the team will be able to have home swim meats and the athletes parents will be able to come and watch their kids swim without the need to travel to other schools. With its own pool, the school will also have the option of starting a men’s and women’s water polo team, something the school has been lacking for decades. All in all, I must admit that I am jealous that I will not be attending this school, but I am also excited to see what this new facility can bring to the community.
