We swimmers knew it was coming, and now it's here. The YMCA is tearing down and rebuilding our branch, so both indoor and outdoor pools will close next week. We compare notes about the other branches and discuss where we plan to swim. This Y holds many memories: it was home to my kids' swim team and where I took my youngest son to water babies classes (he hated them but learned to swim just fine a couple of years later in his own time.)
This photo commemorates the space and your feelings beautifully. Hopefully the new facility will be even more wonderful. I'm impressed to hear that you swim regularly.
I’m glad at least that they are rebuilding it. They tore down my mom’s Y because it didn’t serve their target population. Now there’s an out patient branch of the hospital in that space. I guess that’s needed too . . .
Tough to say good-bye to a large part of your life, but I'm glad they're rebuilding and not leaving completely. Hopefully you'll have a lot of good memories at the new place too.
