HELP KEEP LIONS POOL AFLOAT – A COMMUNITY TREASURE SINCE 1973 For over 50 years, Lions Pool has been where Yakima learns to swim, heals, competes, and connects. It’s where children conquer their fear of water, seniors find relief through gentle exercise, injured community members rebuild strength, and young athletes train for state championships. This isn’t just about keeping a pool open-it’s about preserving a lifeline that touches every generation in our community. In 1984, our community came together through donations and a voter-approved bond to make Lions Pool the year-round facility it is today. Now, we’re asking you to carry that legacy forward. Your donation will ensure children continue learning life-saving swimming skills, proved accessible rehabilitation space for those in recovery, support our high school swim teams, and maintain a safe gathering place where families create lasting memories. Lions Pool has been here for us for half a century. Today, it needs us. Every dollar you give keeps the doors open, the water warm, and the opportunity alive. Give today.
