Dear Editor:
Re: new Edmonds pool. What a wonderful addition to our city! As a "swim family" we applaud the decisions made by the city to ensure that, unlike the Eileen Dailly facility, this new pool can accommodate swimmers. Even though we are rated a "well-off" city financially, our swim team could only use the Bonsor pool to host swim meets (it was the only one with diving blocks). A few months ago at a meet in Vancouver, we were talking with other parents who expressed displeasure (to put it mildly) at the quality of our facilities and did not enjoy attending our meets.
Well, I must say, they are in for a very pleasant surprise next year when they come. Hosting them in such a modern, beautiful facility will be a pleasure.
