The drained pool at Kennedy Collegiate Institute is getting a new life.
The Greater Essex County District School Board has announced an unique partnership with Elite Training Systems.
E.T.S. will establish a high performance gym at the school, located on the site of the former swimming pool.
The company is headed by Mark Fitzgerald who is the strength and conditioning coach for the NHL's Anaheim Ducks.
Through the partnership, the facility will allow Kennedy students access to the latest fitness and testing equipment through their physical education class or extra-curricular activities.
The pool was closed in June 2017, saving the board $55,000 in operating costs per year.
