These are all guesses:
I assume Westfield uses the Cub Run pool.
Chantilly used to go to Oak Marr--not sure if they go there or Cub Run now.
I guess Herndon uses the Herndon Community center.
I think South Lakes may use Reston CC?

In any case, I would think it would be helpful for all FCPS schools for swim meets, etc. And, as someone else mentioned could be a source of funding for the school system. It might need to be turned over to Parks and Recreation in some way.

Chantilly uses Cub run. I think Centreville too.

Westfield, Chantilly and Centerville all use Cub Run. They basically take over the pool during high school swim season. Club teams lose lanes. Members lose lanes. Would definitely not shed a tear if any of these teams got moved to KAA.

TJ has a pool on the 3rd floor

The three traditional APS high schools all have pools. At least at Yorktown, I know that there's a separate entrance for the pool despite it being a part of the building. PE students also have a swimming unit at some point throughout the year. The pool is also available to the community throughout the day and there is some limited parking for them.

PWCS has an awesome natatorium at Colgan High School and ACPS recently opened a pool at Minnie Howard.

I imagine FCPS would look into how other high schools have managed their pools, especially with the great interest in swimming in this area.

Part of why some swim teams practice so early in the morning is limited lane space. Having another pool for community use could save some kids from having to wake up and swim at an ungodly hour, or at least have a shorter ride to those early practices. A few more minutes of sleep every day adds up.

Nah, my high school had a pool and we still swam early in the morning before school.

Reid said she would keep the pool during today's session.

Good! That pool is beautiful. To remove it, would be a travesty.

If you’ve seen the pool you’d know that it will be a decent practice facility but could not host any meets since it has a very limited deck area. The pool is nice but the space around is merely a walkway.

That's fine, then they can use it for the surrounding high schools to practice at since there is also no rec centers in that area. Sully really got shafted - no high school, no rec center, no library.

And yes, they built a shiny new sully community center - WITHOUT A POOL

Both Westfield and Mountain View HS are located in Sully. The Cub Run rec center and Centreville library are in Sully as well.

Chantilly Library is in Sully. Chantilly High School (directly across the street) is in Springfield.

And, now we have the Western high school!

This part of Sully. The northern part of Sully.

What happened at board meeting last night about the HS? Will the decision really not happen to June? Was there alignment on that.

The plan really does seem to be to make people from the 5 possibly affected pyramids choose whether to opt in or out of the new school without knowing the final boundary. Then if you guess right you'll be in-boundary the next year and have bussing to your new school. If you guess wrong I guess you can go back to your old school if you want bussing, or you can provide transportation to either an in-boundary bus stop or the new school if you want to stay there. All because they are spineless and won't set the boundary in a timely manner.

The didn't really address how it will work for the secondary effects of the boundary change - all the people possibly zoned to move from Centreville / Chantilly to Westfield due to the new school. That seems like a huge oversight.

The incompetence and lack of consideration for families and what matters to them never stops.

I wonder if they think that they can use the opt in numbers to help them set the boundary. I wouldn't put it past them.
