The pool and facilities are undergoing a major renovation. The project is being done in two phases. Phase 1 was done in the Spring of 2003, and included a renovated bathhouse and snack bar, a brand new covered pavilion for snacking or just getting out of the sun, and a new pool filter building.

Phase 2, began in the Fall of 2003, and with a little help from Hurricane Isabel has already destroyed the old pool. Demolition of the old pump house and removal of the old pool is on schedule as of September 29th. See Glenwood Pool being demolished from September, 2003 Construction of our new L- shaped pool with 6 swim lanes in each direction, a competitive diving well with 2 one-meter diving boards, a beach entry area with fountains and bubblers for the kids, and a brand new wading pool is scheduled to be complete before year end. By October 8, 2003, we were hauling off broken concrete and excavating the pool. The hole is growing for our new pool in pictures from late October. By mid-November, 2003, the pool is almost fully dug out, and only some rock in the new deep end remains to be excavated. How do you deal with some rock in the deep end? Paddock brings in a Nasty red machine, and blasts away. Once the rock was blasted out, we could lay trenches, and had a big rockpile. By early December, Paddock was putting in the piping for the new pool. The new baby pool was formed up, and there was pipe sticking up everywhere. In mid-December, the bottom of the pool hit rock bottom. Early January 2004: the bottom of the pool is filled with concrete and covered with a blanket to dry. Weeks pass, and it seems like months. Its too cold, too snowy, too icy to gunnite in the walls of the pool. By mid-February, a warm spell is forecast, and we can chop out the icy chunks filling the pool to make room for the concrete walls that will be installed with the thaw!

It's the end of February, and finally the Gunnite gunners are at work. In two days the walls are up, and the new pool has taken shape. By early April, there has been a lot of grading, and the site is starting to take shape. The lane line and target tiles are set, and by mid-May, and we are decking the pool! A concrete pump stretches over the bathhouse, and the concrete deck flows over gravel and mesh, pipes and wires.
