Juneauites like Christy Simonson have built a community around the teammates, coaches, coworkers and fellow swuimmers who visited the pool every day.
Christy Simonson grew up swimming at Juneau’s Augustus Brown Pool. She also painted one of the tiles that has lined the women’s locker room for more than 20 years. City Aquatics Manager Terra Patterson described some of the upcoming improvements. They include resurfacing the pool, new electric plumbing and ventilation upgrades.
Christy Simonson — then Christy Race — painted one of those tiles. She was working as a lifeguard, and the second and third graders needed help painting tiles. She and her sister, Marta, volunteered. Her sister painted stick figures swimming in a pool lane and wrote “I love to swim at 4:45 a.m.” — a nod to their early morning high school swim practices.
