We need to pay attention to the important things in our community and support small businesses. Allison has taught swimming for so many years and her name is heard from swimming pool to swimming pool. The absurdity in not renewing her license makes me ashamed of Sandy Springs.

She is a Teacher for a life saving skill. I hope she can continue to teach.

This woman is teaching life-saving skills that are both affordable and convenient to Sandy Springs families. As a pediatric health care provider in Sandy Springs and parent, I can assure you that this is literally a life or death issue. I urge you to amend your decision.

As a Sandy Springs resident, and a businesswoman, I am in full support of Coach Allison’s endeavor. Not only does Allison teach local children an invaluable skill, she and her family are an asset to our community as a whole.

I'm in favor of common sense and reasonable flexibility, based on the purpose of the ordinance, in the interpretation and enforcement of local ordinances.

My children took swimming lessons at two different private pools. This is a need within the community. The movement in the larger pools can be very scary for little children. Please support this option to keep our children safe near the water.

It is ludicrous that a normally accepted outdoor facility be required “indoors” to maintain a biz license in good standing. Does a tennis club giving lessons need an indoor court ?

This is a ridiculous decision on the city's part. No one can provide swimming lessons inside their home. An exception should be made in this case.

MY mother taught swimming to over 1000 children in her backyard pool and they are safer because of that. Common sense should overrule poorly worded city ordinances.

Allison taught both my grandchildren to swim and made them feel safe and comfortable in water. She is providing a much needed service to the City of Sandy Springs (at no cost to Sandy Springs) and should be allowed to continue to do this.

I hope that you beat this. I would love for my daughter to learn how to swim from you. We are family with the Murrays.

Shame on Sandy Springs. The safety of our youngest residents must not be debated. Rather, we should applaud Coach Allison.
