A pool renovation ceremony was held shortly before Whitefish Bay's meet against Homestead Thursday night.
The Whitefish Bay community celebrated the installation of a renovated swimming pool, and then saw the pool put to good use in a meet against Homestead Thursday night. Last year, the Nebbish Society fundraiser generated more than $100,000 from the community and another $110,000 from the Whitefish Bay School District for the purchase and installation of a moveable bulkhead, which was installed in September. Responding to new safety regulations, Whitefish Bay athletic officials decided last year to reorient the lanes perpendicular to the previous racing lanes so swimmers could launch into deeper water. Because of the longer pool length, a moveable bulkhead wall was needed to define the end of the 25-yard swimming lane. With the moveable …

By reconfiguring the pool, Whitefish Bay swimmers will now launch from new starting blocks in a deeper area of the pool and turn around at a new moveable wall. The change also allows more meets to be held at home.
A new, moveable wall installed in the high school pool this week will allow the high school swim team to once again host swim meets. Due to new safety regulations that prohibit swimmers from launching from the pool deck in water less than 4-feet deep, high school swimmers will now launch from starting blocks in a deeper area of the pool and swim perpendicular to the previous racing lanes. Because of the longer pool length, the end of the standard 25-yard swimming lane will now be defined by a moveable wall, better known as a bulkhead, that was installed Tuesday near the south end of the pool. The bulkhead is expected to be anchored to the pool wall prior to the girls' next home meet on Tuesday. Now, Whitefish Bay swimmers will be launching…

New safety regulations have left high school swim team unable to host home meets unless they make pool renovations.
Whitefish Bay's swimming pool was known as the "fastest pool in the state" when it was built in the 1960s, but now the pool can't even host a swim meet unless it receives a $200,000 upgrade. This school year, Whitefish Bay High School's boys and girls swim teams each only hosted one home swim meet because races are required to start in the water, not on blocks or pool deck, as normally happens. The change in starting location comes as a result of a new safety regulation imposed this school year by the National Federation of High Schools, which ruled that swimmers cannot launch from the deck unless the water is 4 feet deep. Whitefish Bay's pool is only 3 feet, 6 inches deep at each end, which was accepted until the organization notified the…

Our pool is so special. Our swim teams have a place to practice and compete. Our seniors and other community members can swim daily at a very small cost. Don't really care if the $110,000 came from the district. The match was good and generous. And I don't like our taxes either---but it is good to see them put to good use. more ›
