After collaborating since 2014 to offer the city’s aquatics program at the Gentile Hall pool, the City of Presque Isle and the University of Maine at Presque Isle have established a new pool partnership meant to increase efficiencies and cost savings while providing more access to the central Aroostook region.
In concert with the opening of the Gentile Hall pool to the public this month, the aquatics program will shift from a city-administered program at the Gentile Hall pool to one administered by the University that will be available to all area residents; non-resident fees will no longer exist. To oversee the programming, Sloan Dionne has been hired as UMPI’s new Assistant Director of Gentile Hall and Aquatics Director.
