SP202000016: I’ve lived in Crozet for 18 years and served as the Chair for the Crozet Gators Swim Team for 8 summers. I am in favor of the pool expansion project. Our local swim team boasts 230 swimmers and the Crozet Pool is our home. As a summer team, we start practices in May. We are given 6 lanes until school is out. Each year my request for more lane space is denied. Thus we run shortened practices every afternoon. This forces parents with multiple swimmers to drive back and forth and cuts into dinner/homework time. Once we switch to mornings, we use the entire pool for over 3 hours through the end of July. We need all of the lanes! With an additional pool, parents could swim laps, siblings could take lessons, and allow the whole family to exercise in a pool at the same time, modeling the lifelong healthy habits that swimming affords. Also, we want to create a mini-swim prep program for our youngest swimmers. I am hopeful that a larger facility will allow this to become a reality.
