What will become of the pool?
by Aaron Palmer
Managing Editor
According to President Van
Horn, this is the “Year of the pool”.
Yes, at one point in time Brevard
did have a pool. The greenhouse-
style room that faces the soccer
field was once filled with active
students, boaters, community
members and even water
Numerous classes were held
in the pool; most were taught by
Instructor of Aquatics and Health,
Nancy Ballinger The WLEE de
partment and Outing Club regu
larly held roll clinics and swim
tests for students as well as inter
ested members of the community.
More funds were brought in from
community members who paid to
use the services of the gym. Stu
dents were also free to use the pool
during any of its open hours, much
like the gym.
Swimming is an excellent aero
bic activity, being that it works
the entire body. The sports teams
used the free service as well. Base
ball players practiced swinging and
pitching against the resistance of
the water Soccer players swam
and ran for the same reasons.
At the time it was on the
verge of closure, the department
needed $500 in repairs. Most of
the money was needed for a phone
and landline into the room for emer
gency reasons. Cones were needed
for the diving blocks, which we
already had. Most importantly, a
dehumidifier system was in dire
need. The original had been in
stalled around sixty years ago with
the pool.
