This wonderful facility is for everyone in our community. Elementary students receive vouchers that enable them to take lessons in basic swimming instruction. The local pool also offers healthy classes in aerobic and arthritis exercise. More and more, it is being used for physical rehabilitation. Aquatic exercise is valued and often preferred by health professionals for its low impact on joints and muscles.
Swimming is an exercise people can use for all their lives.
This facility also hosts the no-cut swim team. Swimming is one of the few sports that is both individual and team cooperative. It shows and improves character, while building a lifetime health regimen and exercise. On the one hand, I strongly support our public schools and believe that we have an obligation to provide our children with a quality educational opportunity. On the other hand, I am fundamentally and unequivocally opposed to the state's funding system.
