A big thanks to our crew at the Lansing Swimming Pool this summer, and to the Water Aerobics class members for pitching in with some fun t-shirts. It's a big tribute to the spirit of Lansing that a city this size can operate an amenity like a municipal pool all summer long. Thanks to everyone who makes this possible! And you still have another month come on down and enjoy a refreshing plunge. See you at the pool!!!
