Our beloved Woodmoor pool in Bothell, WA, is under threat of closure due to budget cuts. This is not just a pool; it's an integral part of our community. It is home to an exceptional swimming school and a team of dedicated coaches who have been instrumental in teaching our children how to swim and fostering a sense of community among families.

Moreover, the Woodmoor pool plays a vital role in providing a supportive environment for special needs children. Its inclusive atmosphere allows these children to learn and grow in a safe and nurturing space. The impact that this facility has on their lives cannot be understated.

The potential closure would not only affect those who use the pool regularly but also have far-reaching effects on our community as a whole. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), swimming lessons can reduce the risk of drowning among children aged 1-14 years by up to 88%. Without access to this local resource, many families may find it difficult or impossible to provide their children with these life-saving skills.

We urge you not only as members of this community but also as individuals who value inclusivity, health, safety, and communal bonds - help us prevent the closure of Woodmoor Pool due its budget cuts. Sign this petition today!
