Cedar Falls Schools Foundation Makes Gift to New Community Natatorium (Pool)
On October 4, the Cedar Falls Schools Foundation (CFSF) Board of Directors presented a $10,000 check to Jump In! Campaign Co-Chair Lorelei Redfern in support of the Community Natatorium (Pool) at the new Cedar Falls High School. CFSF Board President Vickie Robinson commented, “As the fiscal sponsor of this project, we felt a monetary contribution from the foundation, made solely through our investment earnings, was an important way for us to show our support. We look forward to seeing the programming for students and community members that is maintained and developed as a result of this new facility.”
“It has been a pleasure partnering with Cedar Falls Schools Foundation on this project. We greatly appreciate this gift as well the continued support,” stated Jump In! Campaign Co-Chair Traci Mallaro.
Construction is expected to begin in 2022, with a planned opening in fall 2024. The school district and the city will jointly fund the project, with community fundraising of $3.3 million necessary to complete the natatorium. To date, community contributions total $1.6 million. Highlights of the facility include two pools in one building. One pool will be a 10 lane, 25 yard by 25 meter deep-water competition pool. The second pool will be a 4 lane, shallower, warmer temperature pool for teaching and therapeutic use. Parking and an entrance separate from the high school will allow community use during school hours.
