I swim laps at a Community Pool about 5 minutes from my home. I’ve been going there for at least ten years. It’s part of the school system so even though you pay to swim there, they get funding from the school system. They also accept Silver Sneakers. It’s a great place, I love it there, and I would be lost if they ever closed.

I wish every community had a place like this. It’s such a positive experience for us to get some exercise and meet likeminded people.
