As my first year as pool manager comes to a close, I wanted to express my sincere gratitude for your support and patronage this season. This summer has been an adventure for sure, and I'm proud of the improvements we've made to enhance your pool experience. From new lounge chairs and umbrellas to opening in July on a few Sundays, our goal was to help make attending the pool a more enjoyable experience for everyone. We had several positive comments on what we’ve done so far, and we’re already thinking of ways to improve the pool for next summer! 😉

With over 1,800 attendees this season, it is clear that the pool is an asset to our community. (We are so glad that everyone that came to swim with us seemed to enjoy it!😊) Also, while we learned quickly that pleasing everyone is an impossible feat, we genuinely appreciate your understanding and constructive input.

I would also like to extend a special thank you to the dedicated individuals who selflessly offered their assistance to me this year. There are too many of you to name, and I’m afraid I’ll leave someone out. Please just know that you are appeciated, and I couldn’t have done it without you! And, of course, l'm especially grateful for our exceptional lifeguards, who always seemed to have unwavering patience and flexibility as I found my footing.

For now, it’s time for me to head back to the classroom, but I do hope that you will come back and see us next summer! Thank you again, Carmi, for your support!

See you (next year) at the pool! 🩵
