Hey this is Amanda O., Jessica O., & Mariah S. from Troop 1350 - and we are here to keep you posted on the Health & Aquatics Center and the pool construction going on at North Fork.
Pool construction officially began Monday, July 13th! We were at camp Tuesday to watch as they began digging the hole that will become our new pool.
It is hard to imagine from looking at this picture that by the Spring this will be a beautiful pool with 145,000 gallons of sparkling water, 6 competition lanes and a really cool "zero entry" entrance. Zero entry means that you will be able to walk into the pool just like you were walking from the beach into the ocean. This will be great for SMILE Camp when we have campers in wheelchairs; it will make access much easier for everyone.
Parry-Paddock Pools is doing the pool construction. They also did the pools at the Cecil Field Equestrian Center and the Barco-Newton YMCA; those are a couple you may have seen or even swam in. Not only will our pool look great, but it will also be incredibly efficient to operate. It will have a perimeter gutter system and a salt generation filtration system (why is that written in green.... hint hint) - more on those features and the answer to the green writing next blog. In the meantime, we will be making regular trips to North Fork to watch the progress and we will update you along the way. More next time!
