Letter: A big thank to all those who made summer a little more like a “normal” summer with the pool being open

I just want to send out a big thank to all those who made summer a little more like a “normal” summer with the Ada swimming pool being open!

A big thank you to the Ada Village Council for having the courage to say “yes!” to having the pool open; knowing it was a big risk, knowing it was going to take a lot of work to get the pool ready, and knowing there was not much money to be made from this (if any).

A big thank you to the Village administration for all their work in preparing the pool. The entrance and exit set-up were both safe and smooth, following all the protocols necessary. Well designed!

A big thank you to the pool staff and lifeguards. They were put under a very difficult and stressful situation. I personally saw many situations that were difficult for these young adults with all the protocols and rules that had to be followed. They handled these with firmness and respect for all the patrons of the pool.

I heard many comments about how well the pool was run. I am very proud to say I am a member of this community and our swimming pool is one of the “brightest gems” of Ada.
