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.
