A citywide swim meet was recently held at a renovated public pool. This event marked a significant milestone in efforts to address disparities in access to pools. Historically, certain neighborhoods have received significantly less investment than others. This legacy is rooted in segregation and discriminatory practices.
Renovations to public pools are part of a major effort to close the gap in access. The city has made significant strides in this area, with five newly renovated public pools.
