One would think after more than 15 years have passed since the 1st. meeting was held,simply called,(The pool group), we would have made more headway by now,I wonder if the initial reason for the group is even remembered? It was a group of people who wanted for all of the surrounding towns to help Coulee Dam either repair or replace the Coulee Dam pool and support it financially, as Coulee Dam could no longer go it alone. One bureau engineer,researched repairing the old pool, replacing the outdated propane heater and some paint and repair to bathrooms. Total cost $50.000. Some decided that it would be more efficient to create a Park and Rec. district and build an Aquatic park,more visible to tourists and where it didn't get shady later in the day, The Dist. was established over a period of several years. Was it more efficient? We are still without a pool after all these years.It now sounds like any pool there will be won't be the fun in the sun pool of old that so many people enjoyed for so many years. As I see it,anything we get will be connected to the hospital and sounds more like a theraputic pool. I'm sure this will draw many tourists-right? Could we just start over now? Who wants a public pool, with swim lessons and just for fun swimming SOON?
