If you are speaking about empathy, love, care, honesty, etc, sure. 

 So only Christian individuals can have those properties?

Not sure how long you've been on GID or understand the history, but public funding of sports facilities and belief in God are 2 areas that bring out passion in Muda.  Be warned of the rabbit hole you are entering.......

He's been here before.

That what exactly are you trying to say?  That your self proclaimed status as a Christian give you the ability to determine the level of empathy, love, care, honesty, etc. in another individual?

That went off the rails fast. I skipped most of the conversation. Back to the original question. Swim clubs don't have their own pools. They rent from existing facilities. Many of the clubs in Indiana work with the local HS. I'm not sure if there is a financial relationship involved (i.e. the clubs pay rent), but I imagine there is. It's very common for the high school coach to also be the club coach. Some of the assistants will be the same as well, but the club likely has several more. The practices and events however are kept separate. For the HS kids, if there is a moratorium week, they will still have swim practice, but the HS coaches won't be involved. My kids were lifeguards, and they were usually paid by the club or the high school depending on which entity was using the pool. If other organizations rented the pool (i.e. scuba diving training, water polo, swim lessons), then the lifeguard was paid by the high school. So the swim club does have a different relationship than those other entities. I believe some HSs also rent out their pool to smaller HSs who don't have their own pool. For example, Chatard may rent out North Central's pools for practice.

The high school has a vested interest in supporting the swim club as that is their feeder system. If they don't have the capacity to host all the practices and events for the club, they will either have to limit the number of swimmers in the club. It appears the existing pool did not have capacity to host all of those so they will keep the existing pool to help with that size. Schools truly are community facilities used for a lot more things than just school. Our officials associations have our meetings at schools around the state. I know there was a regional middle school tournament in December at Noblesville HS. They hosted teams from around the Midwest who qualified for a national tournament in Florida.
