Swimming pool fees, thoughts and suggestions |

To the Editor:
It is sad that there had to be an increase in
the pool fees, and I don’t doubt that it was a
hard decision to make; unfortunately, now many
of our kids can't get to the pool in the summer.
It is rough for them to miss free swim, but also
there is a population of kids that aren’t taking
swimming lessons. With the amount of
recreational water activities available this
could lead to a dangerous situation.
Has any thought been given to a scholarship fund
to offset the cost for some families? I don’t
think it should be a free thing, but maybe a
partial fee waiver or something. I think that it
would have to be a collection of some sort from
members of the community, since the city budgets
are all set and that, but is it feasible or too
late?
Once again, Boundary County needs to think
outside the box to come up with answers to an
undesirable outcome of declining population and
income.
