New Rochelle Fire Department Fills YMCA Pool

Water was flowing at the New Rochelle YMCA filling its pool which was closed for renovations in December 2014.

Thanks to a fundraising campaign and a $1 million grant from the New York State Dormitory Authority, fixes were made.

On Tuesday, the pool was filled with water by the New Rochelle Fire Department.

In five hours, 130,000 gallons of water were pumped into it.

Y officials said having the fire department fill the pool was a “huge help in fast tracking the re-opening of the pool.”

The YMCA is hoping to begin its pool-related programs within the month.
