Does anyone know if the OJR Pool is open for the summer?
BRAVO and Congratulations to the Prior School Board, for saving and opening the OJR Pool. OJR is on of two school districts in Chester county, the Wealthiest County in PA, that actually has a Pool. One would think, the OJR Pool would be open to the public, rather than sitting Vacant.

SOUTH COVENTRY — The Owen J. Roberts Middle School pool will be ready to use by the end of October so that swim teams can begin training there in November.The pool has been closed for more than a year, along with the rest of the building, while the entire facility has been undergoing a major renovation. Throughout the construction project, middle school students have been taught in the ninth-grade wing of the high school, and district swim teams have practiced at other area pools.

The OJR Temporary Pool is officially Dead in the Water
Many many thanks to the many dedicated OJR Pool Advocates and OJR Pool Committee for all their efforts to get OJR to go from good to GREAT! Unfortunately, it seems the obstacles that the OJR SB and Administration threw at the Pool Committee proved to be too much. Hopefully all of OJR can come together in a Positive Proactive way, and work towards making sure
1) The Pool Opens in September of 2009
2) An Aquatics Director is hired by January 2010
3) Fundraising is allowed to begin for a Deep Well, so that the existing pool can be used even more, for the benefit of the entire community
Let's all work together to take OJR from good to GREAT!
