Kernes Pool Celebrates 50 Years of Community Service and Support!

In 1973, 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 ADA 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, 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. Thank you for making Kernes Pool possible, now and into the future!

Summer Prize Drawing

In celebration of summer’s bountiful gardens, this season’s prize drawing is a fun hand-made garden stepping stone. A donation in any amount enters you to win, and every dollar provides scholarships to Kernes Pool for children with special needs. The stepping stone is too heavy to mail, but we’ll deliver it to the winner anywhere in Monterey County. (To enter the drawing without making a donation, email info@kernespool.org).
