HomeMy WebLinkAbout121823 email Comments on a new poolI am totally in favor of building a new pool and making learning to swim a graduation requirement for all students in county schools. Years ago before there was a pool on Bainbridge
Island I coordinated a campaign to get every child in the community swimming lessons. We utilized every private pool and taught over 300 children a session to swim. We continued the
program even fter the public pool was built as it could not accommodate all the kids in the county at the time. It is imperative that every person in a county surrounded by water,
with salt water, swift mountain rivers and lakes to learn swimming and basic lifesaving skills. If you need a spokesperson for the campaign sign me on. I have been there and done
that and feel strongly about having everyone have access to swimming instruction as well as boating safety classes.
