My concerns surrounding the process and rationale of McKinnon Pool’s closure are vast.
I am a five-time national champion, decade-long consultant on Canada’s Long-Term Athlete Development project, eight-year Chapter Chair for UVic Swim Team Alumni and, most recently, a member of the hiring committee to select the new Vikes swim coach to fill Peter Vizsolyi’s 41-year role of head coach for UVic Swimming.My concerns surrounding the process and rationale of McKinnon Pool’s closure are vast.
McKinnon is where I trained to represent Canada, where I studied, where I napped, and where my child learned to swim when all other pools were at capacity. The Athletics Department has allocated $1 million to $1.5 million a decade to repair/replace the field hockey pitch, which serves a far more acute spectrum of the community.
• How do I facilitate the recruitment of future student athletes as we increase travel time by 1.5 hours a day, decrease study time, increase expenditures and remove campus culture?• The timeline for closure be extended until proper and publicly disclosed consultation is complete.
