Sunset Swim Center to close March 10-June 3

Thanks to THPRD"s 2008 voter-approved bond measure, Sunset Swim Center is going to undergo structural improvements to make the center safer in the event of an earthquake. Additionally, several capital improvements will be made to the center, including resurfacing the pool tank; replacing windows in the spectator section and lower classroom; and resurfacing halls and dressing room floors with non-skid coating.

These projects will require THPRD to temporarily close the facility starting March 10. Reopening is scheduled for June 4. This is the second bond project at Sunset Swim Center since passage of the measure in November 2008.

The first project was completed in 2009 and repaired the air tunnel, which is located under the pool deck and encircles the pool. The tunnel, which had slowly deteriorated due to corrosion, has a new Fiberglas membrane shell. Plumbing, lighting and electrical fixtures were re-installed, and the deck coating was resurfaced. 

Another capital project planned for Sunset in 2013 will upgrade the parking lot to pervious concrete.
