Like Dave Garretson, aka “Cretack”, below, I had many hours logged in the pool from 1970 to 1974–water polo, swimming, lifeguarding, helping teach SCUBA… Too many stories to tell; lots of good friends who remain so today; and enough memories to keep me going. Ted Barclay and my teammates made it all worthwhile. So, who can identify the four swimmers in the picture and what year?

no mention of new pool, which I assume has been built and already in use. my graduaton predated the “old pool” by 12 years. will the old pool be open for public use? if so, another good reason to live in Granville, if you don’t mind getting wet. these just questions, not necesarily for publication.

That is where coach Barclay taught me and others to obtain our scuba diving certification. Only problem for me was that due to the weight of the regulation air tanks I spent a lot of class time walking back and forth on the bottom of the pool – definately did not need a weight belt. I recall that the night diving simulation was a bit, well, interesting. Thanks, Coach, I made it through ok.

I hope Mike Gregory will be remembered in some other way now that Gregory is to be terminated. He was a lifesaver for the Navy and Marine students who used his house as a Fraternity House during the war.

I spent many hours in that pool and swam many miles from 69-73. Many wonderful memories and teammates. During my senior year I was captain and Coach Barclay had taken a sabbatical during the fall semester to travel to the 72 Olympics. That made me coach as well. Ted returned to watch ” my team” win the Ohio Conference Relays”. My record stands as 1-0 which makes me the only undefeated coach in Denison Swimming history ! So long Mike Gregory Pool. Really will miss seeing the place but can’t wait to see the new facility. Long overdue. Dave
