make it harder! <br />5) the Amador Valley High School pool is small and already can't <br />accommodate the swim team, dive team and water polo teams. <br />Foothills pool is also used for the additional water sports. Those <br />school pools are full even with the PLS swimmers practicing at the <br />DBAC pool all year around and swimming at the races for the high <br />schools during swim season. If the DBAC was to close- the PLS <br />swimmers would be forced to practice at the school pools- that <br />would then force out the less advanced swimmers that currently only <br />swim during swim team season- this is a true disservice! All <br />students that want to be in the water- learning and growing and <br />participating on a school team- should be afforded the opportunity to <br />do that! <br />6) the camaraderie and sportsmanship that is learned and cultivated <br />as a swimmer on a competitive all year swim team - are lessons <br />and skills that make the leaders of tomorrow! <br />7) swimming, unlike most other sports, is naturally supportive of <br />children with intellectual disabilities- autism, ADD/ADHD, etc. This <br />sport allows them to swim their own race- learn and grow without <br />"letting a team down". The physical activity is so beneficial to their <br />emotional health! And beating their old time is beneficial to their <br />mental health. Again, the pool services ALL people of our community! <br />8) what do bored children do? They get into trouble! Closing the pool <br />will have a negative impact on recreation and physical activity of our <br />youth and our community as a whole! Keep these kids in the water <br />and out of trouble! <br />The water doesn't care if you are young or old, what color your skin <br />is, what your athletic ability is, what your disability is- it accepts ALL! <br />This facility serves our WHOLE community! Please close our pool! <br />-Keep striving for a better tomorrow— <br />
