BCA co-director Harold Flieshman explained that the work is continuing around the pool area, with plans to repaint the pool before opening day, giving it a bright new look for the season. “The repairs on changerooms are almost finished. With the pool, we just patched with paint. We are almost there, and we have plenty of time to get things done before the opening. A lot has been done already.”
