Goodman Pool Access Scholarships

Since the Goodman Community Pool opened in 2006, the Madison Parks Foundation has worked with the Goodman Foundation to provide scholarships for swimming lessons to children regardless of income. In addition, free admission passes have been provided for families and to local community centers across the city so that everyone has access to our one community swimming pool. The Madison Parks Foundation has provided financial support to the Goodman Waves, Madison’s only public swim & dive team, keeping fees affordable and by providing generous scholarships. In the past few years, the Madison Parks Foundation has provided the funding for life jackets to be purchased so that they are available to anyone who wants to use them without a fee. So, if you have not had swimming lessons, you can still use the pool and feel safe and included. The Madison Parks Foundation has also invested in the purchase of CPR equipment for lifeguard training and certification.

Goodman Pool is a place for everyone regardless of financial circumstances. Please consider supporting Goodman Pool Access scholarships to families and people in need of access to our community pool all summer long.
