TOWSON, Md. - We've had some gorgeous weather lately. It's not exactly swimming weather, but a group of Towson residents want you to think about swimming.
They're trying to save a proposed swim club in Towson.
Towson wants to build a pool that would open by Memorial Day of 2013.
But its future is in jeopardy, the decision about its opening is in the hands of the bank.
The bank said if they can get 300 or more members, they will loan the money. Right now the club has 180, so they need 135 more people.
And if they don't reach 135 by the end of February, this 5-year project may be over.
