1. Summer Maintenance Projects Scheduled for the RPAC Recreation Natatorium
Maintenance and improvement projects have been scheduled in the RPAC Recreation Natatorium from July 2 until September 17, 2010. Summer projects include encapsulation of the air handling ductwork, five-year maintenance on the Class Pool’s moveable floor and continued compliance with the Virginia Graeme Baker Act which requires upgrades to existing pool floor drain covers. These projects will cause each of the three pools in the Recreation Natatorium to be closed and drained for approximately four weeks each, with work in the Class Pool planned during the month of July, work in the Lap Pool during the month of August, and work in the Leisure Pool during the month of September. Other projects not impacting the availability of pools will also be completed this summer throughout the Aquatic Center including high area cleaning and window cleaning. Ductwork encapsulation and high area painting will also be completed in the McCorkle Aquatic Pavilion lobby area.
Exact completion dates are estimated as the length of each project may vary. Every effort will be made to ensure that no more than one of the three pools in the Recreation Natatorium is closed at any given time. Recreational lap swimming and scheduled programs will be relocated to available pools so that they may continue during maintenance. A detailed listing of recreational swimming locations will be posted and updated throughout the summer on the recreational swimming schedule. Questions regarding summer maintenance or the pool schedule should be referred to Christine Thompson, director of aquatics at (614) 247-7370.
2. RPAC Summer Quarter Locker Lottery
A locker lottery system is currently in place for those wishing to reserve a locker in the RPAC's men's or women's locker rooms. Current locker holders do not need to participate in the locker lottery unless they wish to upgrade or downgrade their locker size. Any active member may submit their name during the times listed below by visiting the Sport Shop section of the web site. At noon on June 21 click the following link to reach the Sport Shop section of the web site. Each member chosen for a locker will have one week to claim and pay for their locker at the RPAC Sport Shop. After this time, all remaining lockers will be available for rent on a first come first served basis. Current locker holders are not impacted by this change.
