Dear Mr. Rohan,

As you probably know there is a storm brewing over exercise classes being held at the neighborhood pools. And I am also sure you realize we do not have a sufficient number of sport's pools to accommodate our growing population.

I think I might have a way to ease this situation a little. We currently have 18 family pools south of rte 466. These pools are underutilized during most of the year. I suggest 3 days a week each FP be opened for adults only from 7 to 11AM. on alternating days. For example, Truman adult days Monday, Wednesday, Friday, Odell Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday. Sundays would be open to families all day,These hours and days are only suggestions but I do think this is something to think about.

Thank you and your staff for a job well done.



Thanks for the suggestion. While there are nine sports pools, we have ample time for scheduling water exercise classes. We encounter this situation from time to time when we open up new areas in our hometown. It really is an expectation, understanding, and function of our facilities and programming that needs to occur. Once we get this alignment in place it will help folks better enjoy their lifestyle.

Honest to God, this guy should run for office. That was a non answer if ever I heard one. Thanks for trying, Whalen.
