To the members of the City of Boulder Parks and Recreation Advisory Board.
I am contacting you to express my interest and concern regarding the
proposed changes to the NorCh Boulder Recreation Center pool facility 2
have been a Boulder resident for 16 years and currently own a home and live
in North Houlder I am also a member of the Boulder Aquatic Masters swimming
group and I swim at the City's pools approximately 3 times a week all year
long. I have been involved in competitive swimming since I was 9 years old
(30 years~) and I continue to en7oy the health and social benefits of
swimming through the City's masters program.
My interest in the North Boulder Rec Center pool is strong because this
facility is located walking distance from my home. I vastly prefer walking
to and from the pool to fighting cross-town traffic (by car or bike) to
visit one of the other recreation centers I have several neighbors within a
block of my home who also take advantage of our proximity to the North
Boulder Recreation Center by walking to and from their lap-swim workouts at
the pool
Please consider modifying the proposed plan for the new pool to include
additional lap swinmiing lanes. Lap swimmers are the lifetime users of pool
facilities. As a child 2 participated on competitive swim teaxns and that
e~cperience resulted in ongoing en~oyment and interest in lap swimming I
intend to continue swimming laps on a regular basis for the rest of my life~
I strongly support use of the city's pools by youth swim teams, masters
swimmers and other adult lap swi~ners in addition to learn-to-swim and youth
recreation/play programs, and I believe it is the mission of the City-funded
recreation centers to provide facilities for all segments of the population
The City will be acting irresponsibly if they accept a pool design that
eliminates the possibility for future use of the pool by one or more of
these groups
Please work with the Boulder Aquatic Masters, youth swim teams and other lap
swimmers to develop a new pool design that will allow for their future use
of the North Boulder Recreation Center.
Thank you for your consideration,
Rathy Tegtmeyer
