snr123 support Sofia Avellaneda, 7, left, and Mallory Schleicher, 8, of the Plantation Swim Team's Sunrise satellite team swim laps in the new 50-meter pool. Thanks to the weather, city staffers and young swimmers could celebrate the opening of Sunrise's new 50-meter pool and stay dry (for a while any way). The pool, at 10610 W. Oakland Park Blvd., was ushered into the community with a ribbon cutting and performance by a local synchronized swimming team. Then, local members of area swim teams jumped in for practice. The pool has been out of use to the community since October 2009, when a contractor paid to resurface and created irreparable damaged. Construction began on the new pool nine months ago. The city is still in court settling the issue. Check out the Feb. 22 issue for more pictures from the celebrations.
