Cape Sports Rock and Float!
Cape sports really rock! Get this – the number one Track Team, the number one cross country team, the number one hockey team IN THE STATE! How can we keep this tradition going? Give students more places to play!
A brand new swimming pool would allow all of the community to have a chance to learn to swim, play and enjoy the water. Swimming is a very effective aerobic activity and would benefit our youngest citizens, our students and our adult population. This pool could be used for all the people and would enhance our life as a healthy and vigorous group. The Cape Henlopen area would gain a reputation as abeing health conscious by providing this facility right in our high school.
We live and work next to the Atlantic Ocean. Our students train every year to be lifeguards and to save people who flock to our beaches in the summer and fall. Shouldn’t our school support their efforts by having a pool available for training all year round? Our swim team continually comes up short in competitions because we don’t have a diving team. Why? We don’t have a diving pool for practice. The new Cape pool would be a showcase for these young athletes who are building life-long healthy skills.
By the way, I love to swim! Can you tell? I have been swimming for over 50 years! I can picture my children and grandchildren enjoying the pool, learning to scuba dive, and competing in swim meets. How about a Cool School Pool Party? Show a nautical movie on a big screen right above the pool while students swim and have some healthy fun! Just think, splashing, swimming as a part of our Cape world.
