[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Other than running away from a perceived threat, swimming is the only sport that can legitimately save your life.  We should be so lucky as to have pools in more schools, but if we are going to have even one, it should be in a community that needs it.  [b]PB serves a geographic area that does not otherwise have easy access to a public pool for kids to learn to be safe in the water - both the kids at the school and the kids from the surrounding neighborhoods. [/b] I think my only wish list would be that if there is MCPS money in the pool, water-safety classes should be required of all students at the ES (which I think historically might have been done?).

Other than being a taxpayer and an MCPS parent, I have no stake in PB - it's too far from my home for us to use it.  But I know what a difference our local public pool has made in my family's life.  It is an extremely important community resource.[/quote]

That is just incorrect. [/quote]

Well, they admitted they don't live in the area.   :lol:

Takoma Park parents were pretty organized on this though, if my kids ES had a pool I'd want to keep it too!
