Recently the AL had a story about how outdoor pool usage was poor this past season due to cooler weather (it really was just a propaganda piece for the Indoorers). So if the indoor pool fails at the polls at Spellerberg, maybe the city should consider heating the new outdoor pool there? Just imagine, you could be swimming outdoors well into October! It is not uncommon to have heated outdoor pools. When I lived in the Seattle area there was a water park in Federal Way that was completely heated. I also have a friend in SF that has an outdoor in-ground pool that has a heater on it, he has swam in it all the way until the end of October.
Let’s face it, people prefer to swim outdoors, that is why outdoor pools have a greater attendance then indoor pools. Duh. If I was the Spellerberg ladies, I would be pushing for this in the design of a new outdoor pool at Spellerberg.
