Save our Pool-a-Thon

In the 1950s, the community of Cottage Grove came together to build a municipal pool to teach the children of Cottage Grove to swim.  Over the last 65 years, children have been taught to swim, championship teams have trained, adults have exercised, and families have spent quality time together.  Warren H. Daugherty Aquatic Center has served our community in countless ways.

But keeping the pool funded continues to be a challenge.  With our School District budgets tightening, we need to raise a minimum of $25,000 to keep the pool open through the end of the year.   This will also allow us more time to work on long range funding through grants, fundraisers, and a possible bond measure.

YOU CAN HELP!

 

1.     Collect pledges from friends, family members, employers, and businesses for every lap you swim.

2.     Swim as many laps as you can!  Laps must be swam at a pool at least 25 yards long with a lifeguard.  Have someone count your laps for you.

3.     Have a pool staff member sign your pledge sheet to verify your accomplishment.

4.     All participants names will be posted at the pool and on our website, www.cottagegrovepool.com.

5.     Mail your pledge sheet and monies collected by June 15th to:
