The McAvoy Natatorium experienced an unexpected closure during the summer months due to an emergency problem with the main drain.

Maintenance originally scheduled the repair to last 14 days but completed the fix in fewer than 11, allowing summer patrons to resume access to the facilities sooner than expected.

“The maintenance department worked very hard to have it working properly as quickly as they could,” Anita Gordon, aide to the athletic director, said via email.

The swimming pool was also closed to the public during the first week of classes. From Sept. 2-4, the new lifeguard staff ran their annual in-service and coordinated schedules.

“It was great to see the capabilities of our new guards this week,” senior Ian Gensler said. “It’s going to be a great season.”

The pool resumed its normal schedule this week and is open daily to the public from 6-8:30 a.m., noon to 1:30 p.m., and 6-7:45 p.m.
