USA Swimming Foundation - Make A Splash

Hello Everyone,

I came accross the "Make A Splash" program that was established by the USA Swimming Foundation. This is a prime example of a project our pool should be involved in and it would further solidify the importance of a pool in our community.

Please take a look at the website. http://swimfoundation.org/NETCOMMUNITY/Page.aspx?pid=261&srcid=262

Articles of Note

Poulsbo Piranhas swimmer Taletha Aban took the floor at the NK School Board meeting on the June 5th and delivered an passionate speech. You can read it here, or through the link at the right.

Also the Wall Street Journal article "Child Drownings Rise, Spark Safety Concerns" is worth a look.

This Week

Wow, what a week for the pool.

Our meeting on Tuesday night was well attended and we have alot of individuals wroking to save the pool.

The meeting with the City of Poulsbo Finance/Budget Committee was encouraging.

The march from the pool to the City Council meeting included over one hundred individuals and clearly communicated our support for the pool to the community and the city council.

We packed the house at the school board meeting and one of our swimmers rocked the house with her presentation to the school board.

One issue was reinforced during the school board meeting. There are a great number of individuals that support the pool and not all of those individuals have the facts they need. It is important that we all educate the community about the facts related to he pool so that we can communicate a clear and consistent message.

Thank you for your support of the pool.
