Beede has one of the nicest pools in the area and an active Masters program with 2 swim times.
5:45 -7 a.m. and 12:00 - 1:15 p.m. People like the coach over there a lot.

I've thought about trying to rally a group of master swimmers to use Codman in the very early morning (think 6-7:30?) during the summer -- enough people committed so that we could pay a lifeguard to be there. It feels a bit overwhelming to try to organize this, knowing as few people as I do in Lincoln. Is there anyone out there who would be interested not only in participating, but in organizing.

Much like the school building was before the renovation. I am sensitive to costs, but significant overhaul of the Pods is needed in the imminent future. Costs are only going to go up if we put the project off. And I like the idea of rolling the senior center into the school campus as it would be nice to have the communities intersect more. (The Girl Scouts in particular already do service projects for the COA&HS and it would be great to expand that.) Again, I am sensitive to cost, not just for me but the community, but I hope everyone can keep an open mind.

That might or might not factor into the overall cost and design we are seeing. There have been community center meetings so I think I personally need to go back and watch them to be better educated. https://www.lincolntown.org/1019/Community-Center-FAQs On Wednesday, October 26, 2022, Joanna Owen Schmergel via Lincoln <lincoln@lincolntalk.org (mailto:lincoln@lincolntalk.org)> wrote:What about the cost for ages 65 to 79? I do think low cost access to indoor year-round swimming is important for our older population. Many might find $199 a year to be a lot. If there is some kind of access to certain facilities at Hanscom for seniors that would be very good information to have. Hanscom has fantastic health & fitness facilities.

It’s something I have been discussing with other youngish seniors (LSRHS class of 1971)and have a number of concerns. Although I don’t yet use the senior senior, and do think one with an elevator is important, I’m not sure how many older adults in town use it regularly. In my cohort, there is a greater worry about high property taxes and whether we can afford to continue to pay them if a community center is built. “If you build it they will come” (https://www.lincolntown.org/documentcenter/view/35385) Is this true, particularly with ongoing concerns about covid and availability of classes and meetings on Zoom? There are few offerings for adults through the Rec Department. Is that from lack of space or lack of interest? Most people I know go out of town for programs. I’m not happy with the design which appears to have a lot of wasted space in its “open concept”. With heating prices going up, how much will it cost to heat this big building? I also think the world has changed since 2017 when this community center was first discussed. I would rather the town spend its money on mixed income housing, for example, which it needs. And, Lincoln’s older homebound adults could stay in their homes if they had more services paid for by the town. This would be a good use of money for seniors. Lastly, if an expensive community center must be built, can we at the same time look at allowing more Lincoln homes to build accessory apartments and backyard cottages? This would help seniors pay their higher taxes, and stay in their large homes while benefiting non-high income folks looking for Lincoln housing.
