It’s been a relatively calm and wonderful pool season this summer. Either good swimmers or dutiful vigilance have minimized lifeguard actions, until recently…
At the outset of a hot Labor Day weekend, on Saturday, September 3rd 2022, what was thought to be an oak leaf, then perhaps a loose Twix fragment or errant Tootsie Roll, turned out to trigger a “Code Brown” alert at the pool.
The pool had to close! However, some swift chemical interventions applied by the pool staff, thanks to instructions from the Public Works crew, there was a quick resolution to this #2 problem.
Co-Head Lifeguard Orion, with assistance from LG Veronica, and guidance from On-Call Water Operator Caleb, in addition to oversight by CLHG essential worker Cheryl and PW Director and CLHG Board member Bob, succeeded in keeping the pool open – Yay.
And it stayed open for the whole three-day Labor Day weekend serving dozens of folks escaping the late summer heat in our cool pool. Just keep swimming…
