In its own words
Usually our activities reflect managing and supervising our community's outdoor swimming pool including: pool house pool & splash pad. As well as managing staff fundraising grant writing operations advertising and implementing programs like swim lessons aquafit open swims etc. HOWEVER in 2024 we spent the year fundraising grant writing and preparing for a large capital repair that was completed in August-September 2024 in order to resume operations in 2025. We had discovered in 2024 a huge leak that kept us from being able to open our facility until the repair was made.
