Nonetheless, after some open forums and voting, it was decided to build a new aquatic center, Furman. The 10.5 million dollar project was completed two years ago, and has had great success in attendance. Some still held on to the idea to keep Carr in a 2010 city council meeting, where they bargained to keep the pool as an option. But it wasn’t profitable for the city, and in the end it was decided to be demolished.

Now, as you apply sunscreen in preparation to walk backwards up the lazy river (great exercise) just give a moment of silence to the forgotten pool of youth.  Carr Pool will remain as that warm, wet place in our hearts where we will never have to worry about getting injured on the diving board.
