Historic day.
The students at Pittsburgh Public Schools Sci Tech, a school for students of grades 6 to 12, had the opportunity to swim two workouts in their own school's swim pool -- January 6, 2016. The athletes are part of the swim team at Obama Academy as per the weird co-op. The varsity swimmers as per the old-ways, had all of their practices only at Obama's pool.
I worked to change that for a number of valid reasons.
PPS Sci Tech has a 3 lane, 25-yard pool that has a great legacy since the era of Coaches Gene Picciafoco and Ms. Borza throughout the years when the school operated as Frick Middle School. Frick was many time Pittsburgh Public School Champions.
That team often had 60+ swimmers, grades 6, 7 and 8, and generally would have won the city championships with a point total and metal haul that exceeded all the others combined. The team dominated. It could have split itself into three units and taken first, second and third -- ahead of the rest of the city.
