School district proposes indoor lap pool for high schools and community use

Fruit Heights City Council is exploring a collaborative initiative with the local school district to establish a new indoor lap pool for high school students and community residents. During the recent public hearing on April 9, 2025, council members discussed the potential benefits of a "fast lap pool," which would cater to both competitive swimmers and recreational users.

The school district is seeking support from the three communities in the area to move forward with this project. While specific costs have not yet been finalized, the district plans to finance the pool through bonding, which would require city council approval. This financial strategy aims to ensure that the project is sustainable and beneficial for all stakeholders involved.

City officials emphasized the importance of community engagement, noting that public hearings will be held to gather input from residents. The council is committed to transparency and collaboration as they navigate the planning process.

If approved, the pool would not only serve high school athletes but also provide a valuable resource for the entire community, promoting health and wellness through increased access to swimming facilities. The council looks forward to further discussions and community feedback as they work towards making this project a reality.
