CVST / CCC Pool Update

To: CVST

From: Coach Jim

Well we are beginning week 2 without a pool.  The pool pump is out and there has been a search for a replacement since the day it went out.  Unfortunately, the company that manufactured it was sold to another company years ago and it is no longer available.  So, we are trying to find a different pump that does not have to be fabricated as a replacement and does not involve reworking the pump room as that would bring even more delays.

We are also trying to get a pool to use in the meantime, but that is not easy task at this time of year, as it is the High School season and the end of the summer season for non-heated pools.  All the pools in the area are either private and do not allow any outside use. are closing this weekend for the winter (no heaters) or they have their own programs, High School teams or both using their pools.

We do have a couple short term possibilities for pools that we are supposed to hear from tomorrow and some new and hopefully good information on the pump as well.  We will let you know of anything new as soon as we know.

In the meantime, tomorrow’s practices will be held at the CCC TAC for all practice groups:

Bronze 4:30-5:30PM / Silver, Gold, Senior 2 & Senior 1 4:30-6:00PM

All High School swimmers should make arrangements to attend their High School Practices.

At this time, we will still be having our Halloween Costume Practice at the CCC TAC on Wednesday, 4:30-6:00PM (We will have the party this week, but the day may change based on the information we receive tomorrow) and we are still hoping to have the Friday Night at the Races this Friday.  We will have more information on these two events late tomorrow.

Thanks to all who are staying positive during this trying time, and please know the coaches are doing all they can to remedy the situation and in addition the Club has also been doing all they can to get the pool opened as soon as possible.

We will hopefully have some positive news end of day tomorrow on all fronts.

Thank You
