Something missing at the Drexel pool...

A dive in the deep end this morning would have certainly resulted in extreme trauma to the upper body- workers at the Drexel pool arrived to find the entire pool had been drained.

It is not known if it was a mechanical failure, vandalism or (considering the recent drought) theft?


BCL plans to speak with the pool manager tomorrow to find out more.
