Dover Pools Saved

DOVER, New Hampshire, June 4. AFTER the swimming community in New Hampshire mobilized, the city council decided to continue funding the Jenny Thompson Pool and the Indoor Pool in the city of Dover. The move is part of an overall $107 million budget passed for the next year.

Thompson, an eight-time Olympic gold medalist, led a march of hundreds of supporters to fight for the survival of the two pools. Now, the swimming community in Dover will begin the work to increase revenues created from the pools so that the tax burden on the city is reduced.
