It would be a huge loss to the community and the wrong decision to close this pool.

Save the pool. Young teens need a place to go to be constructive, Be apart of the community and team. Do not close this pool. My daughter swims and it gives her confidence and strength in herself. You must find the funds to help save.

What a shame and a disservice to the development of the youth and of citizens of Burlington County and all surrounding area schools and high schools to be without a facility to allow for swimming, lessons, swim teams and recreation, except for those most affluent who can afford to purchase from the very rare year round pools.. Even then High School competitive swimming will certainly suffer greatly from such a loss; and not likely be replaced anytime soon. Gloucester and Camden County maintains their own pools through their affiliated institutions. Should Burlington do so much less?

I think the pool needs to be open for this part of the county in particular.

Please don’t close the pool. I learned to swim there, my sister learned to swim there and now our kids are learning to swim there. Such a great facility and staff. Your only hurting the community for which you serve by doing this. And don’t think people will forget this the next voting cycle. Because we all know that’s what this is all about. Just take a step back from your political points and think about all the kids now who won’t get the benefit of learning to swim the proper way if you close this pool.

Save the pool!! This pool has been home to Burlington County High School Swimming for over 30 years. With no other pools in the area to house our meets, all these young student athletes will suffer.

We travel all the way from Palmyra so our son can train at the Pemberton pool because the high quality aquatics instructional programs that are offered there are not offered anywhere else in the county. Instead of closing the athletics facilities and related property, County stakeholders should invest in more athletics programming and work with professional athletes and business leaders to increase training and recreational opportunities for all. It is a field of diamonds right in our county’s backyard.

Our family has been using the pool for years and would be thrilled to be able to continue doing so.

My family has been swimming at this pool since we first moved to the area 4 years ago. Not only have they provided us with affordable lessons in a wonderful facility, but also a community of people when we didn’t know anyone. We are so grateful for that community and the lasting friendships we’ve made because of it. We hope you will consider keeping the pool open, it’s such an asset. We would love to see more programs and activities offered also. So much could be done with this space!

The college pool provides important and affordable services to the community for lessons, life guard training, swim teams, swim meets, birthday parties and is available for college students to exercise and enjoy- it is valuable and should continue to provide these services as it has for decades.

We need this pool for our kids and family. It's the only affordable pool some of us have access to. I need it for my health as well.
