    Thank you for the discussion about the many years and current use of the Evergreen pool by the wider community. Indeed it has been a great resource for many people of all ages to learn to swim, compete on school teams, and stay fit. Hopefully the community can come together to find ways to save the Evergreen pool and support a sustainable funding approach for the long term.
    Here is a link to a news story about the April 14 on campus forum on the pool and other cuts at the school. https://www.chronline.com/stories/evergreen-state-college-reopening-pool-remains-on-table-following-previous-closure-announcement,401185
