I think building a pool to the new rec center would be a wonderful asset.

It is terrible that the school district feels they are "not in the business of operating pools" yet seem to find no problem in operating a "field management business".

This is greatly needed for the whole community. There is very limited lane time open for citizens living east Fort Collins who what to swim for fitness. This should be more accessible for citizens not able to paid for a health club. Its part of promoting public health. Additionally with a new high school swim team in the near future added to the already over crowd facilities, the city/school district need to address this. The reasons given for a new football field are even more applicable for the need of a new pool shared by the city and school district. High School athletes are driving for morning swim practices at 4:45 am across town. This is worse than what the football players are asked of with the one field, at least they have a practice field at the schools.

Fort Collins needs another pool. With the amount of swimmers and Olympic Trial qualifiers, it is shocking that the community doesn't support these athletes!

Many cities across the nation have more than one competitive class pool in their district. We have EPIC that is shared among all the high schools and one club team. And Mulberry is an outdated facility also used to capacity. Please include this in the bond, Fort Collins will only benefit from the multitude of swim competitions hosted all year long!!

EPIC opened in 1987, since then the population in Fort Collins has almost doubled. It is time for a second pool to relieve the constraints at EPIC.

For such a great school district a training pool will add more desire and value to the city. It will benefit all the students and residents.

Yes, please. A pool in between Collins and Fossil would be ideal.

Used to live and swim in Fort Collins. It was crowded. Kids would have to alternate waking at 430AM in order to get practice time. Many kids left and went to Loveland to swim. Mulberry is the worst pool of all time - totally unusable for competition swimmers.

Please build another pool in Fort Collins! EPIC is overstretched and Mulberry isn't big enough for large swim teams to practice. Our family utilizes both and would love another option! Thank you. Tiffany Green

We drive to Loveland because of the lack of pool space in Fort Collins. Please consider more pool space to support our athletes of all ages.

We need more pool time opportunity in our growing community. Please do what you can to foster a new aquatic facility in our city.

EPIC is too crowded with club teams and all of the high school events and practices. We need more pool space! Thanks for your consideration.
