SCCC Wellness Center Pool Closed for Repairs

By Rachel Coleman

LIBERAL, Kan. —The Seward County Community College swimming pool is closed for repairs, announced Wellness Center Director Liz Hill.

“We have a situation with leaks that maintenance will have to investigate,” she said. “We hate to close the pool because our patrons use it. But we have to take care of this, especially with winter coming.”

At this point, Hill and campus administrators estimate the pool will be closed at least two weeks.

“It’s not something we want to do, but this type of preventive maintenance is critical for any institution, especially a taxpayer-funded one like ours,” noted SCCC President Brad Bennett. “We will keep the community informed as we go along.”
