Great idea to boost competitive swimming and community use of the Trials’ pool. Hats off to the warehouse owner willing to store until needed.
wonder if there was any consideration to have the pool up and allow public to swim there for small fee and have the dollars go to local parks foundation to fund swim lessons at parks?
Also could’ve used the pool to also host practice swimming for youth teams and schools so future Olympians could say this is what made me want to try out for Olympics.
i know there are events scheduled there soon but this is once in lifetime event that should have been maximized not just for visitors but also the public that helps fund these events and pays for that stadium with their tax dollars.
You invite the public in to use it, you also immediately also invite having to deal with liability insurance and providing facilities and staffing.
And, as you said, a fixed eviction date for the pool is fast approaching.
Great to see the pool get a second life. How about the 66-foot tall Eiffel Tower? I hope they can move it to a prime spot in the White River State Park as a memorial to the link between the swimming trials in Indianapolis and the 2024 Summer Olympic game in Paris.

White River State Park would an outstanding location.
Strongly oppose this. The miniature Eiffel Tower would really screw up the park’s elegance/minimalism.
The original was “temporary”. I think it was supposed to be dismantled after 4 years. 135 years later and it’s still there. Our’s isn’t quite the same attraction. The Who says it needs to go away right now.
Yes, very glad the pool will be used for physical + economic benefit within Indiana, but where’s the Eiffel Tower going? Kinda bummed it didn’t stay to for the summer, at least, but it’s going down FAST today.
