    To wash away radiation from buildings, to wash away a hard day… The Azure swimming pool is one of the few institutions that continued to function after the Chernobyl accident. Until 1998, when the third power unit was shut down, liquidators and employees of Pripyat enterprises came here to swim.

  • โ€˜Let Them Swim,โ€™ Group Petitioning Rochester Leaders to Reopen Silver Lake Pool

    There’s a growing effort in Rochester to reopen Silver Lake Pool this summer.

    The pool sat vacant last year. Then in September, some on Rochester City Council and the Parks Board recommendedย permanently closing the pool.ย They cited budget concerns and said the pool was old and that fewer people used it.

    “Every spring, when we start up Silver Lake pool, we keep our fingers crossed that all systems will fire back up and that they will work again in the summer,” Parks and Recreation Supervisor Ben Boldt said back in September.

    A group of community members recently started a petition to reopen the pool, saying the pool still has a lot of value.

    The group states on itsย “Let Them Swim” Facebook pageย that the pool serves a diverse population, including eight different community groups that reach underserved populations.

    Fremont Lake is the deepest lake in Wyoming and stretches 9 miles at the base of the Wind River Range. I first swam across the lake in 2016 and I’ve swum across it every year since. This is my 5th year attempting the swim, so join along as I paddle across the frigid waters of my favorite glacier lake.
