DonateWhat does it mean to have a community without a pool?
Since the previous pool closed, our community has gone without a local place to learn water safety, cool off in summer, and gather as neighbors. The impact shows up in missed lessons, lost summer visits, and fewer safe, affordable options for kids, teens, families, and seniors.
Historic capacity 450 lessons per summer × 8 summers =
Why bringing the pool back matters
💧 Swim Lessons Save Lives
Formal swim lessons reduce drowning risk by up to 88% for children ages 1–4 (CDC, Pediatrics). A community pool makes safe, affordable instruction available close to home.
🌊 A Pool for Every Age
Swimming benefits everyone — kids, adults, and seniors. It builds strength and coordination, eases joint pain, and provides low-impact, year-round fitness for the whole community.
🏊 A Safe Space for Teens & Community
Public pools keep teens engaged in healthy, supervised spaces and give everyone a place to connect — from swim team and lifeguard jobs to family open swims and community events.
🌈 Local Access Matters
A community pool is essential infrastructure for safety, health, and connection. Local access means every resident — not just those with private options or time to travel — can learn to swim and safely enjoy the water together.
