On your mark, get set, jump! Splash! Over the course of hundreds of years all over the world, indoor pools have been perfected by and for humans for ultimate efficiency of use, enjoyment, and economical potential. On this note, an indoor swimming pool should be built instead of the current outdoor swimming pool for students and staff on Eastfield Community College’s main campus (EFC) located in Mesquite, Texas. Let’s face it: people want private, temperature-controlled, clean and efficient indoor pools over unsanitary and the uncontrolled weather of the outdoor pools environment. The advantages of swimming indoors as opposed to outdoors for students and staff, the favorable working conditions for workers, and the economical benefits for EFC to own an indoor pool, are why an indoor pool should be built and enjoyed instead of the current outdoor swimming pool at the main campus of EFC.
The advantages of swimming indoors are numerous compared to swimming outdoors for students who currently are enrolled at EFC or staff who are employed by EFC. Swimming in an indoor pool will help to avoid hazardous weather and for students/staff to avoid potential allergies as well. Throughout Earth’s atmosphere, the weather can change abruptly and without warning. When a student or staff member of EFC needs to swim in a pool for exercise and/or leisure, the only option available to them at EFC is the outdoor pool. This pool is susceptible to many types of weather conditions such as rain, snow, sleet, hail, and freezing winds and temperatures which can freeze or render an outdoor pool unusable. If a small building with an indoor pool inside was built instead of the outdoor pool, anyone attending or employed at EFC could swim all year long whenever t...

... a majority of their pools indoors rather than outdoors. There is good reason to. If an indoor pool is built in the place of the current outdoor pool at Eastfield Community College’s main campus located in Mesquite, Texas, it would benefit both the students and staff alike by providing the advantageous of indoor pools over outdoor pools, less hampered workers within indoor facilities to help repair pool issues in a cinch, and help to generate income for the needs of the Physical education department.

1993, this was the very first year that the Worland High School Swimming and Diving Men’s program won state as a team. It all started when the pool was first built in the late 1970’s. This is where most of the young children learned how to swim and or became competitive swimmers in middle and high school. Creating basic building blocks for essential survival skill, this was a key essential for most children; from learning butterfly, breaststroke, backstroke, freestyle, elementary backstroke, side stroke to our floats. From our old dome, we have created a new home. Our dome was a great impact on most children’s life including all ages, even the old. Waking up early in the morning to get to a hydro workout, to practicing two a days to get better, our dome created an environment that can never be replaced and sooner or later not a single person will even know it is gone. One of the very most unique pools in the country, the Worland Community Pool was created in a dome shape. This very organic and rusty shape was getting old indeed. Things needed to get replaced when there was no money in the budget it was a tragic ending to the pool that so much children and adults have loved over the years.
First positive externality I face on campus is staying inside because everything that I need for studying is near: faculty, library, pavilion. It does not take a lot of time to get from my college to faculty or library.
The opening scene of the movie in which Ben?s face is visible through the glass of his aquarium tank demonstrates his role as an adolescent upon arriving home from college. This is, however, only recognizable in a later scene taking place at the party his parents throw for him that evening. As Ben weaves through his parents friends, all questioning his future plans and giving un-solicited advice, he finds sanctuary in his childhood bedroom--finding an escape from the questions he can not answer. Looking down from his bedroom window, Ben stares at the lit-up swimming pool in his backyard. This scene introduces the pool as a significant element as well as a contrast to the aquarium, which is protected under the roof of his parents? home. In addition to the location of the pool outside as opposed to the aquarium in his room, the swimming pool is significantly larger and more exposed to external forces. This parallels Ben?s view of adulthood as frightening and un-controllable. Seeking the safety and fa...
To achieve this great tan one must sign up for the three-week course that the YMCA offers for $100. During the three-week course, you learn how to spot potential victims and accidents. You will also learn how to communicate with pool patrons who have lost their children and those who are breaking the rules. Not, only do they teach you how to watch the pool, but they teach you about skin safety. You learn about which hours are the worst times to be out in the sun and how much SPF to use during those times and how to inform patrons about sun skin safety. Its not all by the book; you will have to get into the water to show your swimming ability and practice techniques, such as how to enter the pool when someone has a spinal injury. Also you need to learn how to deal with victims who are in shock and ways to approach victims who are delusional. You will learn to be assertive with the rules, and when it is necessary to use your whistle. They teach you when to close the pool in emergencies and how it is appropriate to close the pool during thunderstorms. You will also learn to work as a team with your fellow guards, how to use the tube, and the correct ways to clean out the pool with the vacuum.

As a child, I attended a school located in Corona by the name of Washington Elementary. The school did have a playground, but only children under the third grade were allowed to play on the small structure. The older kids, such as my best friend Alondra and I, had access to a basketball court, a few handball courts, and a grass field. I was not a fan of competitive sports so Alondra and I were often found hanging out in the large grassy field or in a teacher’s classroom.
With society’s ever increasing price tag of education, public schools have gone to great lengths to cut costs from the unessential activities during and after school hours. First it was music programs and art classes; however, with the desperate need for teachers, athletic programs have felt the grunt of this expedition. Now, more than ever, youths in our communities are battling serious problems. Not only are sports and organized athletic programs vital to physical development, but also mental growth and offer children structure and goals. Unfortunately, many schools have to cut back or even eliminate sports/athletic programs due to lack of funding.
These are three reasons why i think that swimming would benefit a student.First reason it would help them boost their metabolism and not only that but it would help them stay in shape not only that but also this too.But think it or not it helps you to keep burning calories.And it does not cause a injury because it is a life time healthy sport compare to other youth sports like soccer because in soccer you could injure you're foot and break a bone or even worse lose you're foot but in swimming you cant because they separate you and you're competitive with lines and you even feel calm and
It affects the sports club because it has a swimming pool, so the chlorine levels in the water are controlled well so that nobody can be harmed that is why the statutory law is there.
One of the methods of retention and enhancing the student population is to invest and establish world class intramural sports complexes. In a report done by the National Intramural Recreation Sports Association of America in 2011 predicted that US universities had projected to invest $3bn (£2bn) in sports facility upgrades. Seeing that there are approximately 2,680 accredited university and colleges that spreads out to be $1,119,403 (£738,806) of investment per school. In the US, university intramural complexes are one of the more frequent and busiest spots on the campus. Normally exercising and gyms turn most people away, but with finding ways of using different colour schemes, layouts and other designs, what normally is looked upon as a gym is not seen as an entertainment ce...
Unique architecture, updated technology and upscale features all contribute to an impressive living on campus life. Big campuses have to accommodate the increasing growth in enrolled students just as small campuses must do. However, small campuses usually have more room for expansion because they have less buildings in place already. Also, a small campus may be more modern, and more updated as far as building codes because smaller campuses tend to be younger in age. Although they may be modern, they can miss the historic charm that older campus buildings may have at larger campuses. In addition, older buildings at larger campuses will eventually have to be rebuilt because they will no longer be fit to house people. It will become a safety
A recreation center is a basic standard at most universities. The student recreation center at The University of Idaho is a valuable resource for students with both indoor and outdoor activities to suit the needs of many. There are many universities that just supply gyms, nothing more. The University of Idaho has one of the most modern and high-tech facilities in the Pacific Northwest, with attractions like an indoor rock climbing wall and an indoor track. This state-of-the-art facility is available to any student free, and it is even available to the public via membership. Running, maintaining, and gaining a reputation for a student recreation center is vital to a fully functional recreation center. In order to have a successful and functioning student recreation center there are many criteria to meet. Some of the most prevalent and important criteria include: Proper and safe equipment, knowledgeable staff, and a variety of activities and programs for varying student’s interests.
