Kid safe shallow end of the pool
Mother Nature must feel guilty about the pounding she gave us last October 29 with that freak once in a lifetime snowstorm, because all the milestone outdoor events since then--town fair, Taste of Amherst, and now the grand opening of the long awaited War Memorial Pool--have been blessed with perfect weather.

Am enjoying the War Memorial pool being open, but have been disappointed that the pool closed at 5 pm to the public on Mon and Tues. Both days were beautiful and warm and it would have been great if it had stayed open. Yesterday, we were told that the lifeguards were going to have training and that's why the pool was closed. Since they are all certified to be lifeguards, it's not clear what additional training would be needed at this point, especially for a position that only lasts for two months.
An email went out from the town on Wed which listed additional open swim hours for the War Memorial pool. The LSSE web site though still hasn't been reflected to include these new hours ... and there hasn't been any media attention them either.... so most of the public probably won't know about them. People won't use the pool more if they don't know.
