Aquatic Center Reopens Thanks to Community

The Simperman Corette Aquatic Center is back open after a ten-week shutdown thanks to a community rallying cry — and a hefty $150,000 repair bill covered by a $50,000 grant from the Town Pump Charitable Foundation and over forty local matching donations. While the boiler system needed a full overhaul, the closure didn’t stop community partners from keeping vital programs alive, including water safety classes for 300 third graders and training for Special Olympics athletes. This comeback proves how deeply the facility is woven into Butte’s fabric — and how powerful it is when neighbors, businesses, and organizations unite to protect what matters most.
