“ALL LANES OPEN! – The New Bedford High School pool is open for swim season after a multimillion dollar renovation.

Interim Superintendent O’Leary expressed “Thanks to the commitment of the worksite team who oversaw all aspects of the repairs and renovation, including Bruce Oliveira, Brittany Hullinger and Barry Rabinovitch.

Along with Mark Champagne, Tom Tarpey and many other staff, our student athletes are fortunate to have such professionals dedicated to providing them the best possible spaces for Whaler athletics.” The Whalers’ six-lane pool is 25 yards long with a maximum depth of 12-feet. #WhalerPride”-New Bedford Public Schools.
