Kudos to pool staffers for wonderful work

To the editor:

A group of morning swimmers at the Manitou Pool & Fitness Center would like to express their appreciation to the staff of that facility. We would like to recognize the wonderful job they did this summer, as well as the job they are continuing to do to keep the pool open.

They work hard to keep stable pool water temperature and a clean and functioning facility. They are always helpful, positive and show a genuine enjoyment of their job and their interactions with the patrons.

The staff has kept us updated on changes to schedules in advance, and have helped swimmers navigate the computer system when they are not able to. The job the staff does is all-encompassing and has many facets.

Although a majority of summer lifeguards have gone back to school, a dedicated few remain who work hard to keep the pool open as much as possible. We know they are short-staffed and we are grateful they work so hard so we don’t lose swim time.

We would like to thank them for their dedication under difficult circumstances.

Morning Manitou Swimmers
