Letter to the Editor from the Garretson Pool Board

Date:

Dear Members of the Garretson Community:

Welcome to the 2021 pool season! We are planning to open the Garretson Community Swimming Pool on Tuesday, June 1st. Our hours will be: Monday – Friday: 1:00-7:00 p.m. (with room for adjustment throughout the season), dependent upon weather and attendance. Also, be sure to check out our Friday Fun Days! Saturday and Sunday 12:00-5:00 p.m. with Sunday being “Family Day”.

Life jackets are allowed Mon - Fri after 5:00 WITH ADULT SUPERVISION and Sat & Sun ALL DAY WITH ADULT SUPERVISION.

One-week sessions of Red Cross Learn to Swim swimming lessons will be offered. Each lesson will be 40 minutes in length for each of the 5 days. Sessions will be offered July 19-23 and cost $30 per session per person. Sessions are available either in the morning or late afternoon. Sign up for lessons at the pool office after June 1st!

If you plan on having a guest for a portion of the summer, please remember guests cannot use the pool on family passes.

2021 Swimming Pool Fees (all fees cover entrance to both pools)

Daily Admission: Adults $4.00; Students $3.00

Season Pass: Family $80.00; Adult (over 18) $50.00; Student (18 & under) $40.00

The pool board would like to remind the community of the need for supervision of children. Please do not drop young children off at the pool and expect the lifeguards and other pool staff to look after them throughout the day. The wading pool is supervised only by the adult bringing the child/children, as the lifeguards need to concentrate on the safety of the swimmers in the main pool. For the safety of toddlers and preschool children, patrons who swim in the main pool are not allowed to swim or play in the wader at any time. This includes break times, whether or not parents are present.

Please go over the pool rules with your child/children before the season starts. As a board, we strive to offer a safe environment for all of our swimmers.

Our Annual Auction is scheduled for Wednesday, August 5th at the pool. Please consider donating to us as you come upon good saleable items you no longer want or need! Thank you!

If you have any questions or comments, please contact any of the following pool board members: Karla Godbey, Tad Heitkamp, Markell Gnadt, Kara Risty, Kayla Johnson, Mallory Zell, Leah Konechne, Jason Bohl and Jill Stiefvater.
