The swim center has been closed for nearly three months due to a broken heater.
SANTA CLARA — It’s been nearly three months since anyone has swam at the storied George F. Haines International Swim Center — renown pools where world-class Olympic teams once trained daily.
The facility’s Olympic lore stretches to the 17-foot-deep diving well where the legendary Santa Clara Aquamaids train. Head coach Chris Carver trained the 1996, 2000 and 2004 Olympic synchronized swimming teams in Santa Clara and is set to be inducted into the International Swimming Hall of Fame this year.
“Each time the city has gotten close in terms of community input usually there’s something in the environment that happens like Y2K or the 2008-2009 recession or the pandemic,” Teixeira said. If it wasn’t for the pandemic, though, the mayor believes the city would be constructing a new swim center right now.
