MSU Billings Pool has long been an underutilized resource on campus; with the renovations after last year's Jacket Giving Day, we must continue building our facility to be an attractive host for a varsity of local, regional, and statewide competition.
With the last round of upgrades, thanks partly to Jacket Giving Day 2021, MSU Billings Pool is now just one of very few capable of hosting competitive swim meets in Montana. With swimming a growing sport in Montana at both the youth and high school levels, this presents our campus a unique opportunity to bring families and students from all over the state here to our campus.
With the next phase of renovations and updates, we plan to add a webcast and PA system. This will allow family and friends to stream online and follow swimmers while competing. We also plan to update our PA system, improving communication with spectators and swimmers transitioning between the pool and team meeting spaces.
Any funds raised above and beyond the projected cost of these upgrades will be put towards further pool facility upgrades and maintenance.
