We feel extremely fortunate to have found Coach Allison! Her swim program is extremely well structured and the perfect fit for our son, who is now infinitely more comfortable around the water after his lessons with her. The service that Allison provides is an important component of our family’s toolkit for teaching our child the survival skills that he needs. Please amend this ordinance to ensure that Swim with Allison continues to be an invaluable and essential resource for Atlanta families.

This seems like a silly interpretation of the code. Let the woman run her business! She is helping the city substantially more than hurting it..

Coach Allison's services are invaluable to the safety of our children and provided in a unique environment that provides a comfortable and stress-free environment for young children. These life saving skills are an under served area in our community and without Coach Allison providing this service the city is depriving our children the safety skills and necessary confidence to prevent drownings.

Allison is what we want more of in the community. She teaches invaluable skills to our children in a nurturing and safe environment. She worked with my son last year and we are hopefully going to have an opportunity again this year to help build his skills to have a lifetime of save fun in and around water.

Swim with Allison is a life-saving instructional swim program and a huge benefit to our community. I do not understand why Sandy Springs would want to limit access to a life-saving swim program. This ordinance must be amended ASAP to allow instruction to our children to continue.

This is the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard of that she would be denied a business license.

Allison benefits our community by teaching children to be water-safe, which is invaluable to me as a parent. She teaches a life-saving skill IN HER BACKYARD. How, exactly, is she supposed to teach swimming "WITHIN HER DWELLING"? Please amend this ordinance so Allison can continue to teaching and benefiting our community.

There are many other businesses that work outside ones home - examples gardening serviced, tree felling Etc. Etc.

Allison taught both of my grandsons.
They could not swim without her teaching them.

Allison is an invaluable resource to our community. Her lessons SAVE LIVES and she provides the lessons in the most wonderful, safe environment. Our community is so lucky to have her teaching our kids and helping keep our children safe around water. If you don't amend this ordinance you are HURTING OUR CHILDREN and that is not hyperbole. Please do the right thing for our children and for my son who has been taking lessons from Allison since he was 3 - this will be our fourth year with Allison and my son is an excellent swimmer thanks to her.

The denial of a license this year to Alison is arbitrary and capricious. I’m wondering where the pool is supposed to be, if not outside her home???

Allison provides a tremendous service to the children in Sandy Springs. While emphasizing safety first and making swimming enjoyable for young kids her service is very unique. My children have taken a variety of lessons prior to finding Coach Allison, yet they have found the most comfort with her and have become confident safe swimmers

City of Sandy Springs, please reconsider your decision. Swim with Allison has taught countless kids to learn life saving swim techniques (Including my daughter!) Swim with Allison is a staple in our community and we are fortunate to have such a wonderful and qualified swim instructor in the city of sandy springs.
