I am Vivian Axtell, I’m 11 and I have lived on Glen Mary Road my whole life. I’ve been swimming in the Glen Mary pool my whole life, until the pipes broke. I was so sad when the pool broke.

And why make the deepest spot in the pool only two feet deep? Why spend a million dollars or whatever amount it is, on a very expensive splash pad, and not make the pool deeper and pay for one or two lifeguards?
