Michael Phelps isn't the only one tearing up the pool these days, we are doing a bit of that ourselves here at Harrison! Although our 'tearing up' isn't in the water, but around it, the pool deck, to be precise.
Harrison's athletic program has partnered with the Harrison Athletic Booster Club and Boilermaker Aquatics to enlist local contractors to completely renovate the deck. This was a project that was much needed as up until now the deck had carpeting on it which proved to be impractical and unsanitary.
Step number 1 was simply to remove the carpeting. Then the entire pool deck was shot blasted by the Rite Way Company of Wolcott under the close watch of owner Ron Deno. Rite Way had come highly recommended to Harrison's coaches and their work proved the reputation to be deserved.
Following the shot blasting, Americoat of Indiana came in to relayer, texture, tint and seal the deck. They, too, have been "wonderfully helpful, professional and hardworking," according to Coach Beth Brown who is coordinating this project. As of this writing, the project is about 80% complete.
When asked, several members of the Harrison swim teams, including seniors Colton Withers and Allison Weilbaker, what they thought of the project they responded with optimistic smiles. They then followed those wry grins up with, "we haven't even dared to peak yet. We are waiting for the final reveal...and can't wait to see it then!"
