1993, this was the first year the Worland High School boys swimming and diving program won state as a team. It all began with the construction of the swimming pool in the late 1970s. This is where most children learned to swim and/or became competitive swimmers in middle and high school. Creating basic building blocks for essential survival skills, this was an essential key for most children; from learning the butterfly, the breaststroke, the backstroke, the freestyle, the elementary backstroke, the lateral to our floats. From our old dome we have created a new home. Our dome has had a great impact on the lives of most children of all ages, even the elderly. By waking up early in the morning to do hydro training, practicing twice a day to improve, our dome has created an environment that can never be replaced and sooner or later no one will even know it's gone. One of the most unique pools in the country, the Worland Community Pool was created in the shape of a dome. This very organic, rusty shape was really getting old. Things had to be replaced when there was no money in the budget. It was a tragic end for the pool that so many children and adults have loved over the years. He created champions for future Olympic hopefuls. The Warrior Dome was world class in the state even though so many swimmers hated it because of the ceiling and triangular formations, when middle and high school competed backstroke it was very difficult to stay in line to avoid hitting the lane ropes. Not only were there Olympic hopefuls, but many swimmers have held records to this day. Not just school records, but Wyoming 3A state records. The following have the fastest time in the state for 3A high schools such as Guy Fulfer and Will Vietti. Both…half of the paper…yes, we will truly miss him. Within a year most children will be walking around asking their parents “who was their mum/dad?” it will only create confusion in the community. That empty space was something great, something that today can no longer be replaced. If I were that child's parent, my exact words would be: “That was a pool that created unique individuals, it was a place where you know you can trust your child to learn great survival skills and needs. It's not like the pool we have today, in fact, this pool is what created my unique personality. Our Warrior Dome was the largest pool in the city of Worland. This was where records were set and broken; this was a place where they sent some really special kids to continue their swimming and diving careers at the next level. It is a great and charitable moment in my life and something that will never be forgotten in my eyes.”
