WMass parent, swim coach question new pool delays, public access

EAST LONGMEADOW — When the community pool finally opens, it needs to be a true community pool, a former Marlins swim team parent said last week. “You have a beautiful new asset, nearly $17 million, fully funded by the taxpayers, that your town’s excited about. There’s a lot of things for you to consider as you move forward,” said Darlene Reese, who in addition to being an East Longmeadow resident is also a water safety education consultant.
