I am part of a grass roots group of swimmers who are trying to keep the rebuild of the Fort Lauderdale Aquatic Complex on track with the City Commissioners. The final vote will occur on February 3rd.
Recently, an alternative use for the money earmarked for the pool has been embraced by a very vocal part of our community, and if they have their way, there will be no pool at all.
We are going to present our case to the City Commissioners, and one thing I would like to address is how deep and far reaching is the history of swimming in Fort Lauderdale. It would be helpful to share your comments about your own memories and experiences while swimming in Fort Lauderdale, either as a youthful swimmer or a masters swimmer.
Comments will be anonymous, but it would be helpful to our emphasis if you would share your geographic location. Thanks in advance for your help!

I have traveled to Florida as an adult a number of times and chosen Fort Lauderdale as a direct result of the facility. I've been very eager to see its redevelopment and would be very disappointed to see the facility close. I would certainly reconsider my business and personal travel destinations were that to happen.
