What benefits would a new aquatics facility provide to the Milton Community?

  • Teaching water safety through swim lesson instruction saves lives. According to the Center for Disease Control & Prevention, 10 people die each day from drowning in the United States. Formal swimming lessons reduces the likelihood of childhood drowning by 88%. (Source: Pediatrics & Childhood Medicine, 2009).
  • Access to low impact health and wellness activities for all ages.
  • Educational programming for school district students and community groups.
  • Physical therapy and rehabilitation services in the community.
  • Increased programming opportunities.
  • Ability to host large meets with a seating capacity of 400-500 people will have a large and very beneficial financial impact on the local economy.

"For me, the Milton pool is where it all got started. It’s where I fell in love with the sport and made friendships that have lasted my entire life. As a professional swimmer now, I am extremely grateful that my community/school system had a pool where I could learn and develop my swimming skills into something that I can follow dreams and make a living from.”
