Update (6/17/26): Fundraising is off to a great start, according to Friends of Fairview Swimming. The group, in partnership with FPAC, has already collected more than one-third of its $15,000 goal. Contributions are arriving from near and far. One donor, a 1963 graduate of Fairview High School (FHS) and member of its first swim team, sent a contribution from Brazil.

When the Gemini Aquatic Center reopens later this year it will, in part, have a new identity. Its competition swimming pool has been named the Richard L. Segrist Natatorium in honor of Fairview High School’s first swimming coach.
