♥️Thank You To Our Wonderful Staff & Community♥️
As our time managing the pool comes to an end, the Committee of Management would like to sincerely thank our wonderful community for the support, patronage, and encouragement shown over so many years.
The pool has always been far more than just a place to swim — it has been a place where families gathered, friendships were formed, children built confidence and learned lifelong skills, and our community came together. None of that would have been possible without the people who walked through the gates season after season and made the pool what it was.
We are incredibly grateful to everyone who supported the pool over the years — those who attended events, volunteered their time, encouraged others, and helped create such a welcoming and positive environment for all.
A very special thank you must also go to our incredible lifeguard team for their dedication, professionalism, and genuine care shown to the community throughout the years. Your hard work and commitment played an important role in ensuring the pool remained a safe, enjoyable, and inclusive place for generations of local families.
We would also like to acknowledge and sincerely thank our Pool Manager, Leigh, for his remarkable 17 years of service, leadership, and commitment to the pool and the wider community. Leigh’s contribution over nearly two decades has been extraordinary, and we are deeply grateful for everything he has done.
While it is with great sadness that the Committee finishes its management of the pool, we are also immensely proud of what has been achieved together and thankful for the countless memories created along the way.
The pool will reopen in summer under the management of a new Committee of Management, and we genuinely wish them every success as they continue caring for this important community asset into the future.
To our members, patrons, volunteers, staff, supporters, and the broader community — thank you for being part of the journey.
Your support has meant more than words can express.
We wish the pool and the entire community all the very best for the future.
