GREAT ARTICLE in the Winchester Star today... please take a minute to read & share on social media...."When everyone in our community swims, we unlock a cascade of positive outcomes: healthier bodies and minds, improved educational foundations, stronger social connections, and, most importantly, a safer environment for all. Investing in public aquatic facilities and widespread swimming programs is not merely a luxury; it is a fundamental commitment to public health, safety, and a more vibrant, connected community for generations to come."https://www.winchesterstar.com/.../article_8fa56839-496b...
