Recreational swim hours have been extended at all of them. Possible access to two smaller pools, Hearst East and West, currently used by the ROTC and others, is also being explored. Recreational swim hours have also been extended at Strawberry Canyon's two pools, above campus on Centennial Drive. Strawberry Canyon West is a free form pool, used primarily for recreational family swimming. Five lanes have been created to accommodate lap swimmers.
Plans are to keep both Strawberry Canyon pools open all year.
Spieker is scheduled to reopen in eight to 10 months. Andrews says that the numerous postponements of its closing, over the last month, do not necessarily push the completion time out on the other end.
