There are communities in each
city, specifically in different areas within the city. It serves as an
impressive channel for families to interact, bond and help each other. But for
all of this, they need an exclusive place where they can have fun
simultaneously such as a community park or coffee shop. Village 7 Swim Club was
one of the very popular places, opened in 1970, which became the medium of
summer fun every year for all the families. Unfortunately at the end of the
summer in 2011, it closed.

Jacque Thurman, now being the
centre of attraction, took up the initiative to bring back the Swim Clun to
life. She now plans to reopen it on June 21. Although it was a very difficult task
knowing the condition of the pool, she still somehow managed to accomplish her
wish through dedication and motivation of helping out the community. When the
neighbors found out about it, they were exceptionally thrilled as they would
have some activity other than going to a coffee house or doing house painting
in Colorado Springs and are now waiting eagerly more than ever to see it full
with cheerful families and kids. It was the neighbors’ exhilaration which
helped her and her husband to overcome all the hurdles in making this project
possible. http://www.conewsfeed.com/colorado-springs/side-streets-colorado-springs-woman-rescues-community-swimming-pool/
In the two years where no one
came in or out and was completely closed for all, vandals destroyed the
premises by shattering the windows and all the glass of lockers and sauna was
also broken. The fence was displayed with sprayed graffiti over it and the cash
register was toppled with muddy water thrown into the pool. The damage caused
by these vandals was in thousands of dollars. Moreover, since it was closed for
such a long time further disgrace by weeds, dirt and tall grass emerged from
basketball courts and playground. http://www.veooz.com/news/KHFsYWF.html
This 1500acre neighborhood with
850 families made this pool the heart of the community for up to 42 years and
then it was trashed with such severity. Families loved spending time here
because of the beautiful park, kids playing basketball or volleyball, teens
working for part-time jobs, family reunions chattering and laughing and the
children swimming in the Z-shaped pool. It was delightfully adorned with
attractive colors that must have been painted by excellent painters in ColoradoSprings. The savior of the pool went to specifically mention that this is the
place where sentiments are born and it’s more than just a pool for all. http://gazette.com/side-streets-colorado-springs-woman-rescues-community-swimming-pool/article/1521264
The main problem was substantial amount
of cash needed to cover all the expenses of the damage caused so Jacque only
focused on the important things that needed fixing and ignored the rest such as
linear replacement. The cleaning and patching of the pool was done at a cost
but no Colorado painters were involved for painting the premises, rather she
all did it by herself. It was a surprise for everyone to see her working out
this task effectively as being a full-time employed person as well. Most of her
problems were solved after she outsourced the management for the pool. The pool
is scheduled to open after the Memorial Day and Thurman has offered a
discounted membership for families exclusively for the season which will end
Labor Day weekend.
