I am a Palo Alto resident of downtown north who participated enthusiastically for several years in the aqua wellness program at Burgess Pool before Covid caused the program to shut down. I would certainly like to support Janet Davis’s arguments in favor of reinstating the program at the pool. Although I have found a private pool alternative, the Menloswim program is greatly missed. Appropriately programmed exercise in the warm water can make a huge difference for people like me, with severe arthritis, or for other older people recovering from injuries or surgery. It is transformative!
Thank you,
