Fund Drive Underway To Help Ygnacio Wood Swim Club Re-Pave Pool

Repairs are being made, and community support is needed!

A community outreach fundraising campaign is underway for the Ygnacio Wood Swim Club & Team.

β€œOur entire pool is in desperate need of repair. It got so bad this season that the bottom of our pool started cutting the feet of our swimmers,” said Dustin Boone, who is spearheading a Kickstarter campaign to help pay for the resurfacing of the pool.

The project will be completed in April, according to the website here tracking the progress of the repairs.
