Cleveland High Pool Set to Reopen After Repairs
The Cleveland High School indoor swimming pool will celebrate its reopening Thursday with a synchronized swimming exhibition and swim party.
Renovations to the facility--including new electrical equipment, lighting and wider access steps--cost about $500,000.
The pool was closed because of severe damage in the 1994 Northridge quake. It reopened a year later, only to be closed again in February 1998 after a defective electrical ground system was found to be inflicting mild shocks on swimmers.
Los Angeles City Councilwoman Laura Chick, who helped acquire funds to repair the pool, will be on hand for the 9 a.m. reopening celebration. Refreshments will be served, and the public is invited. The pool is located at 8650 Vanalden Ave.
