Montgomery County Executive Ike Leggett wants to rename a North Bethesda pool after Eunice and Sargent Shriver, who were longtime county residents before their deaths. The Montgomery Aquatic Center, near the White Flint Metro station, is one of four public indoor swimming pools in the county. The only other county pool named for a person is the Martin Luther King Jr. Swim Center in the White Oak area of Silver Spring.

Eunice Kennedy Shriver, who died in 2009, was President Kennedy’s sister and a founder of the Special Olympics. Her husband, Sargent Shriver, who died in January, was the 1972 Democratic candidate for vice president and founder of the Peace Corps.
