As parents of children living in Taylor Village, Ellicott City, MD, we understand the joy and excitement that pool time brings to our kids. We believe that our children should have the opportunity to enjoy the pool when it first opens at 10AM instead of waiting until 11AM. This change would allow us to provide our kids with pool time before lunch without needing to bring food along. It would also free up our afternoons for other activities.

Currently, this hour is reserved exclusively for adult swim. However, we believe a compromise can be reached that benefits everyone in our community. According to the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), swimming offers numerous health benefits for children including improved cardiovascular fitness and mental health.

We propose a shared usage policy during this hour where both adults and children can enjoy the pool facilities together. The pool is large enough to accommodate both groups of people during this time.

By signing this petition, you are supporting a more inclusive community environment where all residents – young and old – can enjoy their local amenities equally. Let's make sure every child in Taylor Village gets their fair share of fun under the sun! Please sign this petition today.
