Air Dome Update
The Air Dome is schedule to go up later this month. Our contractors have started drilling along the pool deck of the Instructional Pool. The challenges to meeting our timeline have been many – we are still very enthusiastic and we are getting closer to completion everyday. There has been a great deal of behind-the-scenes work completed that will allow for a quick install once all our different components align. Be advised that there will be a few days of Instructional Pool closure. We are working hard to minimize the down time by working nights and weekends.
We, along with you are anxiously awaiting the Air Dome. We thank you for your patience, encouragement and continual support
