Hundreds of us have great memories of having a public swimming pool to meet our friends & enjoy swimming while knowing we were being protected. Not everyone has a private pool or has friends who do. Stand with me to show your support for the need of a public swimming pool here within the City of Perry. We owe this life saving skills training to everyone within our community. THIS IS A NEED!!!! EVERY CHILD DESERVES A CHANCE TO LEARN HOW TO SWIM.

The momentum for a public pool is building because this community recognizes that swim safety is a basic necessity for our kids. Post this link on Facebook right now and email our city council members to let them know we expect action.

A public pool would be great for our community and open jobs for teenagers as well. Great idea.

I've been aggressively in our city council meetings for over 15 years to please provide OUR youth with a NEW POOL.. we can build lakes, remodel downtown, build additional parks but NOTHING for our YOUTH in OUR community.. Our City Manager & Mayor should be ASHAMED of themselves... We as a community NOT just ONE person but all churches and neighborhoods should overwhelm the city council meeting with our demands to build a NEW POOL with OUR TAX dollars!

I would love for my grandchildren to be able to enjoy a community pool like I did as a child. It would also be great to teach swimming lessons to children in the community and possibly save lives!

This is so badly needed. Personally knew and loved 2 precious young African American children who tragically lost their lives in an accidental drowning. Sadly children here have no safe place to go to learn to swim. We need a local place where they can go and learn to swim and where parents can be taught water safety. Please consider this as a heartfelt plea for the safety of all our children.

We need a public swimming pool back in our community. Drowning is the 3rd leading cause of unintentional injury worldwide.
