WINDY OPENING DAY FOR KERROBERT POOL

It was an extremely windy day for the opening of the Kerrobert Swimming Pool on June 5. The Kerrobert Credit Union, in a show of community support, allowed the public to swim free of charge. Despite the free admission, only two young boys braved the elements at the pool Thursday evening. When I got there, the duo had arrived on their bikes and were patiently waiting for the pool to open. Unfortunately, the big pool didn’t have heat, as the heat exchanger in the boiler was in disrepair. A new heater has been ordered, and could be operational by June 10. However, the paddling pool heater was working and ready to go, and that’s where the two boys were found splashing and diving while the lifeguard was snuggly wrapped in a blanket.
