During the summer months, the cover will be removed and put in storage. This structure will be the ideal way for the community to have a swimming pool right away. The Bubble will be custom designed to fit the current facility with airlocked passageways allowing easy access to the pool area from the locker rooms by going through a revolving door. The insulated Bubble will be heated to a comfortable temperature for the users. The Utah Cities of Bountiful and Price are currently using this type of Bubble over their swimming pools. This approach will give the Committee time to explore all avenues available for our community to build a Recreation Center.
