I wanted whomever is in charge of the Bozeman Swim center to understand the importance of
having the swim center pool available to the scuba community, to Steve Lance/Sports Cove. Having the pool over the years has been the foundation for hundreds of people, young and
old, to enjoy the magic of learning to dive. Of training divers for Search and rescue, ofexpanding people's lives and of fulfilling dreams. Without the availability of renting the pool,
the entire local dive community will no longer exist and that will not only destroy a longstanding Bozeman business but it will take a very important part of 100s of people's
recreational fun away, not to mention Search and rescue will no longer have dive instructors toteach or recertify their divers nor will there be a local place to get their tanks services,(which
needs done annually) filled properly. Without having access to the pool, the Sport Cove willnot survive as it's main income comes from training new divers and teaching advanced classes
to current divers. Please please please reconsider your policy and please allow the Sports Coveto continue being able to rent the pool as it has for the past 35 years, with from my
understanding has never been a problem in the past. Steve Lance has a long history with theAquatic community in Bozeman. .. Again please reconsider, it is very important to hundreds
of people. Sincerely,
Debra McGrath
