We, the undersigned YMCA members, request full access to the swimming pool whenever Hilltop YMCA is open.

It is not acceptable to us that the new pool schedule reduces the hours the pool is open by nearly 25%.

We believe the new pool schedule will negatively impact members and staff by:

• inconveniencing many club members, especially those who can only swim during the middle of the day, evenings, or on weekend afternoons (due to work, parenting, childcare schedules, etc.)
• increasing the likelihood of pool overcrowding, since there will be fewer open hours
• negatively impacting the financial well-being and morale of pool staff, whose excellent service we appreciate

In addition, we object to the lack of a transparent process for getting input from the Hilltop YMCA community about the potential impact of pool closures and alternative options for addressing any related budgetary issues.
