Jesuit High Roof Pool Moved to Basement

Swimmer Cameron Chamberlain admits “It's really big.”

For decades Jesuit High School students have tried to locate the elusive roof pool which sits atop the building’s fourth floor.

“Seniors have been telling me about it since the first day of classes, but I guess it’s just for the priests who live here ‘cause I don’t know of anybody who’s gotten up there,” said 8th grader Jordan Lewis.

But times have changed and improvements have been made.

President Anthony McGinn, S.J. recently announced the installation of a new swimming facility downstairs on the school’s first floor, or basement level.

Head Swim Coach Bret Hanemann ’85 proclaims, “Finally we have a practice space on campus. Everyone’s going to want to use this. We’ll have kids swimming at intramurals, swimming in their off periods—Hell, we’ll probably even have kids swimming to class!”

Asked about the new pool, Senior swimmer Cameron Chamberlain ’06 admitted, “It’s really big.”

The long undefeated Blue Jays hope this new addition will continue their winning streak for yet another record-breaking decade.

Next meet is set for Tad Gormley Stadium.
