Background Information
In July, the citizens of Onalaska will be receiving a pool survey from the City. The purpose of the survey will be to determine if the community feels there is a need to replace the existing outdoor swimming pool.

A swimming pool advisory committee has been established to research the need. From this committee, a work group has been formed to put together a survey addressing the issue.

This pool fact flyer is intended to provide the community with information concerning the existing pool.

If the survey outcome indicates there is a need, the swimming pool advisory committee will meet to further discuss possible options for replacing the pool. Public input will be encouraged and made available through informational meetings, another survey or through communications with the swimming pool advisory committee members.

Six potential options have been identified and are listed below.

Potential Pool Options

4. Replace the existing pool with an outdoor aquatic center.

5. Replace the existing pool with an aquatic center with indoor and outdoor components.
