The Superior Swimming Pool has been filled for several days and all appears to be ready for the planned opening at 1 p.m. Monday. To launch the 24 season, there will be free admission on Monday and season passes will be available for purchase.
Long advertised as Nebraska’s seventh largest municipal pool, it has served area residents for about 75 years with only minor modifications.
According to a story attributed to its builders, they didn’t follow a formal plan, they just dug until the hole looked big enough. It was built during the time after WWII when the community’s population peaked and the rural areas were much more heavily populated. As one of the few pools in the area, wagon loads of youngsters were often hauled to Superior to swim and the pool was a crowded place.
