Endless Bummer - Our Town Pool

Last night we went had YAPM (Yet Another Pool Meeting). This was hosted by the city council and was well attended by the public. The problem with our city pool is that it is only open from June - September. It is shut down all winter despite the city having received grant money and a top. The cities concern is that the pool runs at a significant loss and they don't have the funds to cover it. The pools members just want to swim year round. It's been a stale mate for over 25 years with no progress made on opening the pool for the winter. Wendy got up and spoke as did others, but it doesn't look good for getting the cover up this fall.

At least your town has a pool. We live in Joshua Tree, CA, a small community in the Mohave with no public pool. The nearest one is a the high school in Yucca Valley (7m away), and it is only available to the public during the summer, when school is out.

Just sayin'
