Drowning is the #1 Cause of Death for young Children.
Established in 1997, the North County Recreation District (NCRD) was formed by a community-driven effort to preserve and support the historic 1930 swimming pool at the former Nehalem Lower Elementary School. The pool was built following a tragic drowning incident involving two local boys, highlighting the need for swimming education in the community. In 1996, a grassroots campaign led to a successful ballot measure, securing funding to maintain the pool and other recreational programs. Over the years, NCRD has expanded its offerings to include a fitness center, performing arts center, youth and adult programs, and outdoor recreation facilities. In 2020, the community approved a bond measure to build a new aquatics center, ensuring the continuation of the district's mission to promote the educational, social, and physical well-being of the north Tillamook County community.
