This has been an ongoing debate for years, (I've known about it for 10).  The pool is not and will never be self-sufficient, nobody wants to pay astronomical fees to go open swim,  for a pool party or do lap swim.  I know NAS Whidbey supplements the active duty members that use the facility so don't try and push that envelope.  For those that do use the pool, compare JVMP fees to any other facility and you will see that JVMP is the cheapest.  To those who have never set foot in the facility, nor expect to set foot in the facility, keep your trolling comments to a minimum, You have no clue what programs JVMP provides.  If you have children and want them to learn how to swim safely and correctly,  are elderly and with limited mobility, or want to stay fit during our winter months, you will probably swim there, CPR, First Aid, Swim lessons, are taught at JVMP. BTW - no levy, no pool, yes it will eventually cut back or close, we dealt with this years ago, attend a meeting be informed.
