Graham Aquatic Center faces leak delays impacting seniors' home swim meet

The York Suburban School Board addressed significant concerns regarding the district's aging swimming facilities during their recent meeting. The long-awaited repairs to the so-called "geriatric pool" have been completed; however, a new issue has emerged. A large crack or leak has been discovered, leaving the timeline for repairs uncertain.

As a result, student swimmers are currently utilizing the Graham Aquatic Center for practice and events. This situation has particularly impacted senior swimmers, who will not be able to host their senior night meet at their home pool, a cherished tradition for many. Board members expressed their commitment to working with the athletic director to ensure that the upcoming meet can still proceed as a four-lane event, despite the challenges.

The ongoing issues with the pool highlight the need for continued investment in school facilities to support student activities and community engagement. As the board navigates these repairs, the focus remains on providing a safe and accessible environment for all student athletes.
