Kernes Pool celebrates its 50th Anniversary!

Since 1973, The Josephine Kernes Memorial Pool has provided more than 250,000 warm water sessions to welcome, encourage and assist people to be healthy and feel good.

When founder Edith Perry heated up her backyard pool to teach children with disabilities to swim, she never imagined that Kernes Adaptive Aquatics would continue to help thousands of people gain strength and mobility for 50 years. Today our beautiful pool, named in honor of Edith’s mother, provides people of all ages and abilities the opportunity to swim, exercise or just relax in comforting warm water.

Please join Kernes Pool in celebrating its 50th Anniversary. If you, or someone you know, would benefit from warm water exercise (and really, who wouldn’t?!) we’re here for you. You can also help children with special needs, adults with disabilities, and elders, through a one-time or monthly donation. Or keep this wonderful organization vital for 50 more years by including Kernes Adaptive Aquatics in your will. Email us at info@kernespool.org for ways to join the celebration. And thank you for making Kernes Pool possible, now and into the future!

Most of us start the New Year with a resolution to live healthier lives, get more exercise, eat better, maybe even lose a little weight. Good intentions often fall by the wayside because “It’s boring or just not fun!”

The National Center on Health, Physical Activity and Disability has many resources and ideas for fun ways to stay healthy and fit. Relief from arthritis, yoga for children, controlling stress, accessible gardening, ‘deskercise’, easy recipes, and many other great ideas and information are available at www.nchpad.org.

And don’t forget, gentle movement in the 92^o Kernes Pool is great exercise.

Thank You!

Heartfelt thanks to all of the foundations, businesses, individuals, and public agencies, our Life Savers, who support Kernes’ work. We couldn’t do it without you.
