I stepped out onto the balcony of my condo across the street from the University of Denver the other morning, and it looked like the building manager was preparing to open the pool. The past few years, due to leaks and Covid restrictions and all that, it has been touch and go whether the pool opened at all. The signs of activity this year are encouraging. Of course, when the pool is up and running, DU students (usually frat boys) sometimes like to jump off the balconies into the pool to show off for the co-eds. The last time that happened, a student hit the bottom, broke his collar bone, and wandered around the pool area in a daze until someone took him to the hospital. I would strongly encourage students not to do that, especially since, as seen in the photograph above, the pool is currently only half filled with water.
