The Montlake Community Club for sent the following enthusiastic letter of support for the Comprehensive Aquatics Plan to the City Council:

The Montlake Community Club Board has read with great interest the Comprehensive Aquatics Plan for Seattle and with this letter joins the growing movement of support….  The Montlake Community Club represents over 1400 households that in order to swim for enjoyment, health, safety, fitness or competitive training must join an organization or in many cases drive a great distances to another region of Seattle or Bellevue.

While we understand there are budget constraints we would like to point out that this plan is unique in that it supports one of the widest spectrums of citizens from; seniors, families, children, sports enthusiasts, infants and anyone who requires physical therapy. Public pools ensure that no one is left out of this opportunity because of geography or economic reasons.

It is obvious that after the recent Olympics that the interest in swimming with our children has grown and as a major city should be in a position to foster that interest. We want to thank the Project Seattle Pool’s efforts in driving the plan to this point and thank you for your recent agreement to support the plan.
 
Sincerely,
The Montlake Community Club
