Garretson Pool is prepping for Summer

Date:

by Mallory Zell

            Summer is here! Well, actually spring is just rolling in, but the Garretson Community Pool Board is busy planning for the upcoming summer pool season.

            While there are a few changes on the horizon, the board is excited to offer the same local summer fun as in years past.

            One thing the Pool Board prides itself on is hiring a local, dependable staff that not only gets to know the pool patrons by name, but has been known to run kids home in a pinch when the weather turns suddenly stormy. In order to do so, an increase in wages has been put on the table in order to provide wages that are comparable to surrounding pools - you really cannot put a price tag on safety.

            Applications for lifeguards will be available at the Garretson School front office. If you are interested in applying but unable to make it to the school, please reach out to a pool board member to get a copy of an application.

            The annual pool raffle is underway and you should see raffle tickets in your mailboxes in the coming days.

            The raffle was a huge success last year and we look forward to the drawing for this year's raffle on April 11th. The community support is very appreciated!

            If you do not receive a raffle ticket, but would like one, please reach out to a pool board member.

            Last, but not least, as a community please keep in mind that the pool board does offer financial assistance for those unable to purchase a summer pool pass. The pool has a place for every member of our community to make a splash this summer.

            Be on the lookout for our upcoming newsletter and pass application. Get your swimsuits and shades ready - summer is just around the corner!
