Wellness Through Water
At Sunshine, our accessible indoor pool is more than a place to swim—it’s a space for healing, growth, and joy. Designed with a raised floor and chair lift, it welcomes individuals of all abilities to safely experience the water.
The consistently warm 92° temperature supports muscle tone, flexibility, and neurological engagement. Used year-round for therapy, swim lessons, and recreation, the pool also hosts community partners like Nationwide Children’s, Metroparks Toledo, and the Autism Academy of Learning. For residents like Jonathan, the pool is a highlight. “It brings him so much joy,” says his mom, Marvene.
The Need: We are replacing and relocating the aging natatorium HVAC system at a cost of $400,000. The new mechanicals will improve ventilation, reduce corrosion, and lower long-term plumbing and maintenance costs.
