By Anlan Cheney, Mission Local October 13, 2021 An unknown Mission swimmer has a clarion call for others taking a dip at Mission Community Pool at 1 Linda Street: raise your voice, or lose your pool for the winter. The outdoor pool normally closes between the end of October through March, although the Department of Recreation and Parks extended the pool's schedule through Nov. 27 this year. Fliers posted around the neighborhood urge pool patrons to share their views on continuing the season through the winter. "Maybe we can get them to change their minds," reads the flier. "There is something different and better about swimming outside. It's also less 'COVID-y' than swimming inside." To read the full article, click here.
