Blending Historic Legacy with Modern Innovation
A key element of the plan involves the complete renovation of the existing 25-yard NCAA/NFHS compliant pool using the Myrtha RenovAction system. This system allows the original structure to be preserved while transforming it into a modern warm-up, cool-down, and instructional pool, featuring adjustable water temperature and depths suitable for diving, exercise classes, and learn-to-swim programs.
The updated pool will be capable of supporting PIAA 1-Meter Diving Competition while providing year-round community benefit through educational and recreational use.
