Super News-Work Outs Will Not Alternate

Thank you to the efforts of the parents who attended the school board meeting on Tuesday or sent emails to board members.  The practice schedule will remain the same for the swim season.   Cedar work out at 3 to 5 p.m. at the Aquatic Center. Canyon View will be allowed to finish out this years season using SUU swimming pool.  The Superintendent said what was important -"The two high schools need to share the pool (Aquatic Center), and that has always been the plan, with SUU only serving as a temporary home for the Canyon View High School".  At the board meeting the following problem was discussed but no solution given.  The new aquatic center was not build with competitive swimming in mind.  New Aquatic Center is smaller than our old pool facility that had two pools (25 yard covered during winter, and 25 meter indoor). The Aquatic Center only has one eight lane 25 yard pool, that is too shallow and with terrible starting blocks.  As a parent, swimmer, and community member I  am grateful to have a new swimming pool, and did feel very sad that many in attendance at the board meeting did not share that same appreciation.  School Board member Harold Haynie stated "we cannot rebuild the pool but must deal with what we have"  I would encourage swim parents to continue to attend board meetings and stay in touch with school board members and city council members to help come up with ideas of how to deal with what we have.
