Since getting vaxxed I have returned to the pool and I cannot express how wonderful it feels to be swimming again (especially for my creaky joints) and to see the facility so well-used and spiffed-up. The early bird lap swims are busy. Saturday afternoons are noisy with kid-play. Aquasize is back and there’s even paddleboard yoga. I volunteered at the Dolphins’ time trial this week and witnessed how excited the kids (and their parents) are to be back training and racing. Watching my granddaughters swim made my heart sing.  Our pool saves lives in more ways than one. Thank you especially to manager Amanda Painter and the team of lifeguards for creating such a welcoming environment and being so responsive to the needs of the many pool users.
