Hello all,

As some of you may know, in the current municipal budget the Portsmouth, NH Indoor Pool is scheduled to be closed on July 1, 2010. The pool is the hub pool for Great Bay Masters and has hosted several SCM mini meets over the years. The loss of this pool would severely cripple the Great Bay group.

The group working to keep the pool alive has set up a Facebook group called “Save the Portsmouth Indoor Pool!”. It would be helpful, if other members of the New England swimming community would simply join the Facebook group as a way of showing support. If you could join and encourage others to join it would be greatly appreciated.

The local media has been very active on this issue and is monitoring the Facebook page, so writing comments to the “wall” supporting the importance of a community pool will help. An important argument made by the “kill the pool” people is that the facility is in horrible shape, so any comments that include references to your experiences with the quality of the facility would also help.

Thanks,

Paul Griffin
