It would be an absolute farce for it to close. The Scottish Government is intent on increasing activity in young people so they have decided to try and close one of the best run pools in Argyll and Bute. I suppose this fits in well with them also closing Helensburgh for 9 months for no other reason than they seem to be completely inept at running sports facilities.

The pool adds to the attraction of the area and gives visitors, particularly with children, another option.

It is an essential facility in a maritime area where learning to swim is imperative. The close proximity of the Crinan Canal and the importance of the marine sector in Mid Argyll make the threatened closure a priority to fight for. The council has to come on board and find funding to keep this important pool open.

It should be supported by the Council/NHS/Education authorities especially in an area where exercising outdoors is often unpleasant because of the weather. If anything, it should be expanded to include wave machines, flumes, children's pool etc, a cafe and community centre and be a warm, sociable space for the local community. It's a long way to the next nearest pool and is valued by many residents and visitors.

Fisher Jr. [Signature #669] https://www.gopetition.com/signature/locate/6595267?utm_medium=rss A community swimming pool - if lucky enough to have one - is one of the most valuable assets a town or region can have, and through swimming competition is of immense benefit in teaching young people the value of dedication and hard work, and the satisfaction and success that can come from it.

In that way alone the mid-Argyll pool will pay for itself. Please respond to the needs of your community - the young, old, pregnant, mothers and dads, those convalescing from injury, youth with a passion for sport, life-savers, scuba divers, kayakers and the many others, by keeping the pool open.
