On July 6, our beloved Exchange Pool was devastated by
Tropical Storm Chantal. In just a few hours, years of memories and hard work were swept away. The pool filled with silt, the cement cracked, and the storm left behind widespread damage to our facilities.
But what happened next was extraordinary.
Within days, our community showed up — with shovels, buckets, and boundless heart — to clean, scrub, and reclaim what the storm tried to take. Your efforts reminded us of what makes this place so special: it's not just a pool, it's a home for summer memories, friendships, and resilience.
After a full assessment, we now know what it will take to reopen the pool:
The total estimate to repair and safely reopen the pool is $60,000.
Thanks to early donations, we’ve already made some progress — and we’re confident we can reach this goal together.
If you’re able to contribute, every dollar helps bring us one step closer to reopening our pool and welcoming back our swimmers, families, and community spirit.
