This is a great article in this weeks Uintah Basin Standard about a family in Duchesne who have a young boy with cerebral palsy. Danny Ross has benefited from swimming in the pool because it is able to relax his muscles. The proposed Aquatic Center for the county will have a therapy pool that would be open year round for people like Danny to help strengthen and relax their muscles.
