Imagine being able to take your children to learn water safety classes in a new indoor Pop Up heated Swimming Pool here in our shire.
Or attend a small lap style pool for rehabilitation therapy rather than having to commute out of the shire?

A group of local parents have been working hard with swimming instructor Linda Watkins to develop a new portable heated swimming pool concept for Alexandra, especially designed for water safety classes for all ages and abilities, water aerobics and rehabilitation therapy sessions.
This project once realised will improve overall safety, health and wellbeing of participants.
We have located a potential venue for the pool and a manufacturer of a portable pop up heated pool that can be installed on site here in Alexandra.
Want to know more? You can by keeping in touch via this page
Or attending a
Community Update Meeting at CEACA (in the studio)
Downey Street, Alexandra
WED 9 December 2015 - 7-8pm
Enquires please PM us
(Feel free to share, tag your friends who may be interested and like to spread the word! )
Thanks - Sam, Jaq, Tiff, Jason, Mel, Renee and Linda

If we want another pool, we have to jump up& down NOW make the EFFORT to write to The Standard by Friday 7 th , cos holiday Monday .. You only need to write a few lines condemning this Shire for being responsible for letting $5 million worth of infrastructure be lost. EMAIL; reception@alexandranewspapers.com.au or drop a snail mail under the front door, addressed to the Editor.Imagine if there were a page full of letters in next week ! Don't just give in & let them get away with it. The state gov. Could be forced into action if we scream loud enough. If we all make the effort to get three more more people to write that aren't on facebook could have a dramatic effect on . Take a pen, paper& envelope into your neighbours, & offer to stick it under the standards door, won't even cost you a stamp just 5 minutes.

If you listened to Neil Mitchell on 3AW this morning, could you please comment below on the numbers Peter Ryan gave concerning the opening hours of the pool and the costs involved.
Did he say the YMCA were only open 13 hours a week?

Just received a call from the reporter saying that the story will be in Monday's paper, better chance of having a good run on our story. For everyone that feels outraged about the destruction of our pool, please consider emailing the editor after they print our story to voice your opinion. The fight is on to have it replaced !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Every voice counts....WE ARE NOT GIVING UP

Thank you to everyone that turned up today. The article should be in tomorrow's 'Herald Sun'. Unfortunately the powers that be made the decision to demolish the pool today, they were tearing it down while we stood watching. However, this fight is not over.....it has just begun. Hopefully this article in the paper will make people demand answers on why the destruction of such a valuable community asset was allowed.

Please show your support by attending the Marysville Indoor Pool tomorrow at 11am for the 'Herald Sun' photo. The editor would like the kids to bring a towel, googles if you have them and bathers.
We have worked very hard for this opportunity, so step up and show your support. This is our last chance !!!!!!!!!!!!
