District 4 resident. Access to a pool is a huge quality of life issue. Please open the pools.

Continuing to keep pools and other businesses closed hurts the city officials as well financially - in case that thought had not crossed city officials' minds. City officials REPRESENT the people and the will of the people. We do NOT want continued oppression ! Safety is a priority, yes of course. No one disputes that. But exercise is important to a healthy life. Why are large group gatherings of looters with people in close proximity okay, but not socially distanced lap swimming, at a 50% capacity ? Not much logic there. Looters destroy businesses and the city. We are being denied the simple right to exercise in a FREE country. Stop the oppression.

Please open swimming pools. In the extreme heat, this is one go-to activity for our young child.

Allow Meadowbrook to open now. The data shows it is safe and this pool is well managed!!

How many city citizens have been admitted to hospital for the common cold viruses - including COVID II (aka covid 19- during the past seven, 14 and 21 days?

No reason for outdoor pool facilities to remain closed.

Delaying the ability for lap swimming in Baltimore not only hurts older adults it also hurts youth that participate in competitive swimming. Baltimore residents are fed up from city officials who seem to have forgotten that they work for the people. Not the other way around.

Social distancing is inherent in lap swimming. Warmer temperatures and high humidity weaken SARS-CoV-2 (Covid) as do chlorine. Social distancing plus weakened virus structure from higher summer temperatures, higher humidity levels (water), and chlorine which kills the virus -- sounds like low risk. Perhaps consider limiting pool use for an interim period to lap swimming only. This could perhaps mitigate the probability of transmission from non lap swimming pool use. Continued oppression of Baltimore business and Baltimore residents is UNACCEPTABLE.

Please open Meadowbrook as soon as possible. The owners are very responsible. They will adhere to all safety precautions.
