We are in the final planning stages of of a number of upgrades to our pool. Mount Holyoke's pool was built as a 25-meter pool and a separate 40' X 60' diving pool. The diving pool has been great for our divers with a separate and dedicated pool for their practices. It is also kept a couple of degrees warmer than the swimming pool.
The one challenge was the swimming pool was 25-meters, which is counter to the NCAA swimming in yards. This is now going to change shortly. Thanks to a very generous donation, we will now have a fixed bulkhead to make the pool 25 yards. In addition to the bulkhead, we are also installing new Paragon blocks, replacing our Colorado Timing System and upgrading our scoreboard to a 10 line LED board. We are also painting the walls during the project.
We will start draining the pool on May 7th, the day after classes end. We expect to have all of the work completed by the middle of June, just in time for U S Sports Camps swim camps to begin.
This is a very exciting time for the team and college. We are also looking forward to hosting a number of meets for outside groups!
These renovations will make Mount Holyoke's auditorium the premier facility in Western Massachusetts.
All the best,
DA
