I am honestly overwhelmed by how many people care about keeping the pool open. This movement grew way beyond anything I imagined and it is entirely because of your own efforts to look out for our community.

Last month I was in the only Diving event for Mater’s Diving we have around 40 people in the pool following safe rules to this day nobody got Covi it is time to open the pool in the country you do not know how beneficial is swimming and water sports for our communities Thank you
Speaking as Board Chairman for US Masters Swimming in NM, our full support is in favor of this petition.
I'm a 64 year old retired Pediatrician. Swimming is safe during the Pandemic, and keeps me sane! Please expand the hours. Thanks!!
Las Cruces is/was very high on my list of towns I want to live in for retirement. However, having access to year round lap swimming is high on my list of factors.
Swimming is a healthy exercise that keeps everyone happy and content in the face of restrictions. I am a former USMS Vice president 8 years, Committee chairman for 12 years, continue to be a swimmer for 63 years.
the CDC supports pools are safe. swimming is healthy for physical and mental health.
Pools have never been cost effective but they make up the deficit by providing healthy activity for all ages of the community.

Allow pools to stay open. Practice social distancing, masking in and out of the facility and hand washing. Most can avoid locker room use altogether if they wear suits to & fro home. Easy.
