They provide a bonds between people of all walks of life, add to our mental and physical health and wellbeing. Swimming schools also provide the skills for young children around water safety, the life of a child that is saved by these skills cannot be measured by money, it could be a councillors child or grandchild that is directly impacted by this pool. I hope for the sake of the communitythe elected councillors make the right decision not just the less expensive decision.

Valentine pool is visited by the wider Newcastle Community.

I for one have a brother, aged 58 with a disability. This is the only exercise that he can do due to his fear of a falling during a walk. He recently had a fall & injured his shoulder. Subsequently he wasn't able to use his right arm. Upon starting up at Valentine Pool, his strength has improved substantially and he really looks forward to going there weekly with his carer ...he has always loved the water.

The amenities and pool are very well suited - with pool lifts etc. for the disability & aged sector.

Additionally the kids pool and lovely grounds are great for little children and their families to enjoy a relaxing day out for all.

Would love the LMC to find the funds to take over the running of this facility. Even an increase in fees may help a little.

Thankyou
Jenny Bourke
