Butchie's Pool in Yuba City is an indoor, warm-water swimming pool for people with disabilities or health problems of many kinds. A doctor's prescription is required. Audrey Stricker explained the history of Butchie's Pool in the November 11, 2009, edition of her "Viewpoint" column in the Territorial Dispatch:
| Butchie Montna, son of Norma and Larry Montna, was born with a developmental disability. Because of his love of swimming, Butchie's Pool was established in 1979 as a memorial to this special young man who, at the age of 16, died in a tragic automobile accident caused by a drunk driver. |
| Originally built as an outdoor pool to benefit young people with disabilities, the pool, today, has grown far beyond its original purpose—and is now an indoor, year-round, warm-water facility, serving people in all walks of life with a wide variety of health needs. |
| A current physician's prescription for water therapy at Butchie's Pool is the only requirement and monthly fees are based on a sliding scale. |
