When some faithful Muletown Rec-goers heard the facility was struggling with the costs of maintaining the pools last year, they took action to save their favorite sport.
A determined group of athletes, high school swimming coaches, concerned year-round swimmers and health professionals successfully prevented the end of aquatics at the facility by raising more than $350,000 required to make the necessary pool repairs.
The facility’s owners said the ongoing cost of maintenance and repairs of the center’s indoor Olympic-sized lap pool and therapy pool resulted in the business’ largest operating costs, while showing the least overall member utilization.
