Swimmers at a Brooklyn YMCA will soon get a brand new place to practice their strokes.
A groundbreaking was held today for the new Aquatics Center at the Prospect Park YMCA. The nearly $6 million pool is being built to replace the current pool which opened in 1927.
The new pool will feature more lanes and increased accommodations for members with special needs.
“We definitely have a huge demand in this community for more aquatics programs,” said YMCA Vice President of Operations Sean Andrews. “We’re going to be able to serve over a thousand local school children with free swimming lessons as a result of the pool and really expand its capacity.”
The new pool is slated to be complete by 2009.
