Also Mercy’s pool was nice and is now closed and planned to be filled in as well, as it was salt water and eroding fire protection in the ceiling above. Any lane losses in the metro stings as we’ve been losing pool by pool (Otrip, Rose etc) with OC’s and OAC’s being in very bad shape.
Mercy is closing their pool? That seems like a major downgrade to that facility especially since they charge a premium price there.
