BC Pool once in operation

Shortly before being perma
nently retired the plumbing had
been redone. The filtration sys
tem had been worked on and leaks
were fixed. The ceiling was also
repaired. From the roof, you could
see where it was bubbling and
bowing. According to Nancy
Ballinger, reopening the pool to
day would cost roughly $100,000-
200,000. The college relies greatly
on donations and as soon as a do
nor puts forward money, we can
enjoy the benefits of swimming
once again. If someone were to
donate, it would have to be speci
fied only for the purpose of fixing
the pool.
The Brevard Racquet Club is
now the resource used for Brevard
College swimming classes. To use
club facilities, it costs 30 dollars
an hour, which adds up to 800
dollars per class. You cannot prac
tice there out of class unless you
are a member Senior Katie Berube
took Swimming I last semester
Berube stated, “I don’t have a car
on campus and the commute to
the club cut twenty minutes off of
a fifty minute class.” Other stu
dents have complained the club’s
pool stays at a consistent 86-89

degrees making it difficult to swim
laps. Because of these reasons,
there will probably not be swim
ming class next semester
Although promised that the
pool will reopen this year, it seems
that the room is on its way to be
coming another weight room. The
new football team simply has too
many players and cannot fit in the
already existing two. Nothing is
yet confirmed, so it’s hard to say
what direction this once loved ad
dition to our gym will move to
ward. Unless the funds appear,
aerobics it seems will soon give
way to weights. Donations any
one?
