Swimmers in the Saluki Swim Club interact Tuesday during the first swim lessons at the Recreation Center after relocating from Pulliam Pool, which closed August 8. Laura Herzog, of Pomona, said she was skeptical about bringing her two children to the center for lessons at first because the larger locker room is a bigger challenge with kids. “The relocation has actually become a benefit,” Herzog said. “I can coordinate the swim lessons and use my Recreation Center pass, giving me 45 minutes to work out instead of sitting around at Pulliam with no air conditioning.”TIFFANY BLANCHETTE
