I moved back to Toledo to raise our three young daughters.  They are learning to swim at the pool, as I did.  I appreciate the pool even more as a parent.

I am trying to make healthier choices  because some day I hope to ride a burro down the Grand Canyon. Swimming at the Toledo Pool has been a great help to me and the COVID protocols that are in place help me to feel very safe. I am thankful to the staff for all of their help, effort and reminders.

When I look at the Toledo Pool, I’m looking at it from a community standpoint.  Community to me is encompassing everything:  family, friends, community activities, kids’ activities, senior activities.  The Greater Toledo Pool is a place I can send my children, a safe location in my community where my kids can participate in activities – whether it’s swimming lessons, swimming recreation, birthday parties, friends’ parties.  It’s here. It’s in Toledo.  It’s part of Toledo.

I’m 94 years old. We gotta keep this pool open!

The livability of the rural Greater Toledo area is greatly enhanced by the availability of our pool, but most importantly – the swim lessons save lives.

In addition to being a place for kids to learn to swim and adults to keep healthy, the pool benefits our local businesses.  It helps to keep our community healthy and thriving.
