Greater Toledo Pool Patrons:
We want to remind everyone that the Pool can be rented for private events and parties. This past week we hosted the 5th Graders from Amity Grade School. An evening of swimming at the Greater Toledo Pool is part of their annual field trip! The parents and kids look forward to this part of their field trip every year. Let the Pool be part of an event or party in your future!
As Fall progresses and October speeds by, there are a few things we want you to know about activities at the Pool. The schedule through October 18th is posted here for your reference. But the week following the 18th, the Pool will be closed and drained. As we get closer to doing the Pool Renovation Project next year, there is some engineering testing that needs to be done on the pool structure itself. In order to do that we’re going to have to drain the pool; then do the necessary testing; and, then re-fill the pool and heat the water so the pool is ready to re-open. That will take approximately a week. So we’re asking for your patience and understanding.
We enjoyed having the Lincoln County ECEL young adults at the pool for groups Swim Lessons, which concluded last week. Six of the eleven participants advanced in their swimming skills during the 2 weeks of lessons! Many thanks to the instructors and volunteers who assisted us throughout those 2 weeks. And congratulations to the young adults who improved their swimming skills!!
A final note this week…. We’ve enjoyed doing a Halloween Party at the Pool the last few years, but with the Pool closure and how the Halloween holiday falls on the calendar this year, we have decided to just participate in the “Trick or Treating” on Main Street on Saturday October 31st, and not try and do a party at the Pool too. We hope everyone understands and will come by and say “Hello” at our table on Main Street!
Have a great week ahead — and come enjoy the Pool sometime this week! Come make a SPLASH!!
