Spread the Word

Even now, many citizens of Alpena County do not know there is a public pool available for swimming lessons, exercise classes, private parties and coached workouts. Tell your friends about the pool…. better yet, bring them along to your favorite session and help them discover the diverse programming available for people of all ages. FOPP continues to work toward increased utilization of the pool and broad appreciation for the health, safety and recreational benefit it brings to our community
