WPI pool

In 1978 South High School opened its current location and from Day 1, the pool has never worked correctly.  Now this political season there seems to be a push, after 35 years, a push to make the pool operational.   MassLive story here.

 

If the City of Worcester was flush with cash and did not have a one BILLION dollar OPEN and pension deficit then this may make sense, but this is not the case maybe we should take advantage of all the non-profit assets that we have in the City of Worcester.

Here is a list of indoor pools in the City of Worcester:

  1. WPI pool
  2. YMCA Main Street
  3. YMCA Greendale
  4. Worcester Fitness
  5. YWCA
  6. Clark University
  7. Holy Cross
  8. Assumption

There are probably more then escape us right now.

Having a strong Worcester High School program is a good idea but we can use the pools in place now to reach this goal without having to spend millions at South High School.
