Ein Bericht von CultureMap Austin enthüllt die Schließung des ältesten Schwimmvereins in Austin, Texas. Der Barton Springs Schwimmverein, der seit über 70 Jahren besteht, wird aufgrund finanzieller Probleme seine Türen schließen.

Der Verein wurde 1946 gegründet und hat Generationen von Schwimmern und Wassersportlern in der Region ausgebildet. Doch trotz der Beliebtheit des Vereins konnte er nicht genug Einnahmen generieren, um die laufenden Kosten zu decken.

Die Mitglieder des Barton Springs Schwimmvereins sind zutiefst enttäuscht über die Schließung und bedauern den Verlust eines beliebten Ortes für Freizeit- und Wettkampfschwimmer. Viele haben ihre Trauer über die Schließung des Vereins in den sozialen Medien ausgedrückt.

Diejenigen, die dem Verein nahestanden, hoffen, dass die Stadt Austin Maßnahmen ergreifen wird, um die Tradition des Schwimmens und Wassersports in der Region aufrechtzuerhalten. Der Barton Springs Schwimmverein mag zwar geschlossen werden, aber die Begeisterung für das Schwimmen in Austin wird weiterleben.
