BIG SPLASH ALERT

The Columbus Area Aquatic Center is excited to officially welcome Jack Petrie as our new Pool Manager!

Jack has been with the City of Columbus for 6 years, and this season he has truly dove headfirst into his new responsibilities.

From passing his LGI (Lifeguard Instructor) certification to working hand-in-hand with Carrico Aquatics, Jack has been putting in the work to make this summer the best!

As we prepare for opening day, he’s been getting familiar with our systems and has already built a great rapport with staff. He brings a positive attitude and strong leadership to the pool team, and we’re excited for all he’ll bring to the season ahead.

If you see Jack at the pool this season, be sure to give him a warm welcome. We’re lucky to have him leading the way and helping keep our pool safe, fun, and full of community spirit.

Here’s to a great summer at the pool!

A big thank you to the Columbus Historical Society for sponsoring the City of Columbus Arbor Day tree!

This year’s tree has been planted at Warner Park Playground, helping enhance one of our community’s favorite gathering spaces for families and children.

We truly appreciate the Historical Society’s support and commitment to preserving and beautifying our community. Their contribution is helping make our Arbor Day celebration even more meaningful, and the tree will be enjoyed for generations to come.

Thank you again for helping our community grow!
