Swim Essay
I think Cape Henlopen should build a pool and an extra athletic for so many reasons! The main reasons are because the swim team can practice longer, they should update the fields because the school has around for a pretty long time, and athletes deserve the best!
If you didn’t know, the Cape swim team practices at the YMCA at certain times. Sometimes at the Cape swim team practices at normal hours (3-ish to 5-ish) and other times they practice (7-ish to 9-ish). I know if I was on that time and we had practice late I would have a bit of an issue with that. I would like to practice and get it over with. If they have there own pool they can use it anytime they want and they can practice extra if they want, not on a certain time period. Everyone knows that gas price have increased over the past 5 to 10 years and the Cape swim team has to travel there to practice then that is more money for the school to pay for gas and it’s very expensive and it would be a whole lot cheaper to just have swimming pool where they can just walk through a door and there is a pool!
Another reason is because the High School has been around for a pretty long time (30+ I assume) and I believe that it is time for the school to update there playing fields. Like they did the football fields. It looks very nice and I believe they should add turf to every field because there is not a lot of work to it, like it drains easily and every thing else. And you don’t have to water it or anything because it’s artificial. So I think they should update there fields.
My last reason is I think athletes deserve the best! If the team is number one in the state, they deserve to play on a field that is number one in the state. Even if they team is all that great they should at last have a nice complex to play on because sometime down the line, the team will be at least decent.
GIVE CAPE HENLOPEN SCHOOL DISTRICT A POOL AND A NEW ATHLETIC FIELD!
