A limited-edition commemorative five-postcard set, to own and share (sample shown at top) can be obtained with a donation to The Fund to support continued free admission. Visitors can contribute to a conversation about issues of equality and social justice – all central to global issues around water.” Admission to POOL is free of charge, but timed tickets will be available for audiences limited in size according to current restrictions. According to Karen Young, Executive Director of the Fairmount Water Works Interpretive Center, “ This project is a natural extension of our mission to educate the public about the important role of water in our daily lives. POOL seeks to support these positive efforts by providing a historical perspective through a contemporary lens that explains the importance of these institutions today. Philadelphia has recently begun progressive initiatives aimed to enliven Philadelphia’s pools through beautification and activation, such as the 2019 $3.7 million Bridesburg pool renovation (originally built in 1954), Swim Philly, PowerCorpsPHL and We Can Swim! programs. In 2004, 20 pools were slated to be closed but remained open due to community advocacy.
