Lex Anteinternet: The Pool Returns

Back in 2019 we ran this:Lex Anteinternet: The Pool Returns

The Pool Returns

The Tribune this morning has an article that the School Board has voted to put in a pool at NCHS.

The vote was not unanimous. Two members voted against the proposal based on budgetary concerns, and there certainly have been those, so their vote is neither surprising or without merit.  But the majority did vote to put a pool back in at the school.

I'm glad to see it, and thought that the reconstructed school was lacking without a pool.  It had one starting in 1923 and the absence of a pool was a real deficit.

Of course, now that I no longer have kids there, it isn't the pressing matter it once was to me. But I'm glad to see it back.


And indeed it is.

The first swim meet in the new pool was held this past week, the Fish Bowl, the meet featuring NC and cross town rival KW.  KW, with is much bigger swim team, did better, but NC now with a 8 lane 25 meter pool capable of hosting meets, hopes to do better in the future.

A welcome return.
