LA County wants to put a CLOSED FOR THE SUMMER sign on all LA County Pools \u2013 without any public input.<\/p>\n<p>The 57 other counties in CA understand that while many other exercise and sports activities are limited due to COVID-19, lap swimming and other aquatic activities and swim lessons promote health and wellness and are SAFE and ALLOWED by public health officials. This is especially important when the communities hardest hit by COVID-19 already bear the burden of a lack of local access to safe recreation space.<\/p>\n<p>Every local government in CA is faced with budget cuts, but LA is the ONLY county that has proposed a 100% cut to public pools and aquatic centers \u2013 denying its youth, adults, and seniors \u2013 many of whom live in the most underserved parts of our County &#8211; \u00a0the opportunity to swim safely this summer at any of its 30 pools. Refusing to open ANY pools this summer will put more Angelenos at risk of drowning.\u00a0 And it will cost hundreds of jobs that are supported by our taxes and fees paid to County Parks and Recreation and to small businesses who operate at OUR pools.<\/p>\n<p>The proposed LA County closures are DRASTIC, INEQUITABLE and UNPRECEDENTED. No such closure has taken place since World War 2.<\/p>\n<p>Other Counties understand that the financial cost to open pools pales in comparison to the <em><strong>HUMAN COST<\/strong><\/em> of not opening pools to the tens of thousands of swimmers who use them and the <em><strong>ECONOMIC COST<\/strong><\/em> to the seasonal County employees who work at these pools and many <em><strong>SMALL BUSINESS OWNERS<\/strong><\/em>. These local employers provide swim programs and other aquatic activities at County pools to promote <em><strong>HEALTH EQUITY in Los Angeles<\/strong><\/em>.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>We Support:<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>DIALOGUE with STAKEHOLDERS<\/strong> \u2013 The County took NO public input from the stakeholders impacted by this DRASTIC decision. Tens of thousands of pool users will be affected, with ZERO OUTREACH. There has also been no outreach to non-profit partners or the small businesses who operate programs at these pools. That is WRONG and INCONSISTENT with long standing practice for such drastic actions.<\/p>\n<p><strong>FAIRNESS<\/strong> \u2013 Budgets must be cut, we understand this, but why cut 100% of FUNDING FOR POOLS when lap swimming is one of the few activities permitted by Public Health Officials?\u00a0 Meanwhile, the County has opened golf courses, shooting ranges, tennis courts and equestrian centers.<\/p>\n<p><strong>HEALTH EQUITY<\/strong> \u2013 Public Pools serve ALL communities, and County Public Pools are often the ONLY pools County residents with the greatest need are able to access. So. Cal. Swimming has worked for decades to expand access for all children, youth and adults across all racial, ethnic and economic backgrounds. This drastic closure will severely undermine these efforts. Pools and Aquatic facilities are centers of health and well-being in their communities. Therefore, County Parks &amp; Recreation should be required to submit a Community Health Impact Report to the Board of Supervisors prior to ANY Aquatic Center Closure.<\/p>\n<p><strong>SAFETY<\/strong> \u2013 According to LA County Public Health, drownings are a leading cause of injury death for children ages 1 \u2013 14; three children die every day as a result of drowning. 79% of kids from low-income communities are at risk from drowning according to a 2017 UNLV \/ Univ of Memphis Study.\u00a0 Swim lessons are permitted under the Public Health Order.\u00a0 Closures now will result in deaths later.<\/p>\n<p><strong>JOBS<\/strong> \u2013 Hundreds of jobs will but cut at the time they are needed the most, placing more pressure on our unemployment and social safety net resources. This makes no sense when swimming GENERATES REVENUE.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>We Oppose<\/strong><\/em> LA County\u2019s Decision to Close All County Pools.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>We Want a Conversation<\/strong><\/em> between Stakeholders and the County of LA Leadership.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>We Want to Open Pools Quickly, Support Safe Swimming Activities and Wellness and Restore Jobs.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>More on opening pools <a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/category\/americas\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Swim Pasadena coach Terry Stoddard has started a petition to the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors (BOS) to open pools in the county. &#8220;In an effort to Stop the<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3915,"featured_media":316694,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"dois","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[122077],"tags":[124015,10882],"class_list":["post-437866","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-americas","tag-swim-pasadena","tag-terry-stoddard"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v24.3 (Yoast SEO v24.3) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\r\n<title>Swim Pasadena Coach Writes Petition to LA County Board of Supervisors<\/title>\r\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Swim Pasadena Coach Writes Petition to LA County Board of Supervisors About Opening Pools.
