The opening of the swimming pool in 2014 was a landmark achievement for Holy Cross College, Kalutara, symbolizing the dedication and unity of the Old Boys’ Union (OBU) and the college management. The swimming pool project was initiated and spearheaded by the OBU, which tirelessly worked to raise the necessary funds through a series of remarkable initiatives. These included:

• ‘Walk to Swim’ College Walk: A vibrant community event bringing together students, alumni, and well-wishers in support of the project.
• ‘Musical Night with Mariance’: A spectacular musical fundraiser that showcased the talent and camaraderie of the Holy Cross community.
• Donation Campaigns: An extensive outreach program to secure contributions from old boys and other benefactors.
• Publishing Souvenirs: A creative effort to generate funds while celebrating the history and achievements of the college.

This collaborative project, completed in partnership with the college management, stands as a testament to the commitment of the OBU to the growth and development of their alma mater. The swimming pool remains a cherished facility, enriching the lives of students and promoting physical fitness and sportsmanship at Holy Cross College.
