In Hubbard businesses donated thousands to pay for new diving blocks for its community pool.

In Hubbard businesses donated thousands to pay for new diving blocks for its community pool.
After losing revenue during Ohio's COVID shutdown in 2020, the pool director Andrienne Poullas launched a fundraising campaign to
replace 22 year old diving blocks that could not be repaired.
Business owners who donated $3.000 for a full diving block or $1,500 hundred to pay for half a block took part in today's inaugural dive.
Owners from Kilar and Straightline made that dive themselves. Others chose a swimmer to represent them.
With no way to repair the more than 20 year old equipment it became a growing safety concern.
"We would have to do meets where we would only use a certain amount of lanes just to keep the kids safe. So these band new blocks with anchors and
everything is going to be a huge face life, not just for the pool, but for the six high school teams we house here, for the club teams that come, we host ten,
twelve, fifteen meets a year so all swim teams in the tri-county area are going to benefit from the blocks we got," Adrienne Poullas Hubbard's Pool Director said.
The school also applied for and received a Learn to Swim or USA Swimming Grant for kids with developental disabilites.
The grant pays for eight half-hour one-on-one lessons for each student in that program.
Thirteen year old Matthew Hynes who attends Fairhaven was enjoying his lesson this weekend morning.
Platinum Donors - $3,000 include Kilar Fabrication, Julianne Carsone & Family, Hubbard High School Athletics
Gold Donors - $1,500 include Braydich Dental, Youthology Medspa, Straightline Interiors, Artasia Framing & More, Kraken Swimming Booster Club
There were fifteen people who donated $100 to also help make the purchase of new diving blocks possible.
