My principle concern about the current focus: will one size fit all?
Lois Melina proposed some excellent questions for researching the
options, and for advancing the level of discussion. I would not look
favorably on any proposal which has not entailed some research of
probable future use, balanced with an awareness of existing facilities.
I judge the current UI pool is satisfactory for scuba training, kayak
practice, general conditioning & lap swim, and tournaments.
I judge the current UI pool to be marginally adequate for general family
use, or even taking the Cub Scouts for an outing.
I do not envision any new construction which will meet everyone's needs.
Where should the focus be placed?
