Richmond swimming pool is under threat of closure. 

My 7-year-old finds great joy in swimming at Richmond swimming pool. Lessons have given him so much confidence, and a new love of swimming.

He says, "It is great fun to learn to swim. I like the parents being able to watch from the cafe. It makes me feel like I'm very included in the swimming group. The teacher is really friendly and doesn't tell you off. My swimming has got much better. Without the swimming pool I would feel sad that I couldn't go to my swimming group."

Richmond swimming pool is not just about swimming; it’s about fostering community. It supports local jobs, brings people together, and helps reduce social isolation. With every swim session and lesson, bonds are strengthened, and friendships are forged in our community.

We understand the financial constraints, however, cutting off such an essential facility is not the right solution. We urge the local council to explore funding sources.
