Alameda Swimming Pool Association in
Alameda California has provided a unique service to the city of
Alameda and community, especially the children, with an
unparalleled record of community service for the last 50
years.
They provided family swimming, lap
swimming, competitive (Alameda Ala-gators) and non-competitive age
group swimming along with our free kindergarten swim. The
inspiration for the program originally came from Frank Weeden, Fred
Stolte and with the help of some of their close friends and
associates. Mr. Weeden maintained that since Alameda is an island,
all children should learn to swim. It was a practical matter of
public safety as well as providing a healthy activity for the
children of Alameda. The primary purpose of the program was for the
benefit of the children first, and as an added feature, for their
families and the swimming enthusiasts in the
city.
