Hi! I am an adult who swims regularly at one of the city pools. I just wanted to thank the Optimists for sponsoring the free swim for the kids. I did notice quite a few different kids that usually dont swim. I saw kids smiling, laughing, and having a good time because of your generosity! Thank you for supporting the local pools.
