Townsend Swimming Program Thanks Lifeguard Training Sponsors!
Patrick Plantenberg
In 2021, the Townsend city pool was not open because the city could not find lifeguards. Since then, several organizations have made sure that this will never happen again. The Rotary Club of Townsend, St. Peter’s Health, and the Broadwater Area Lions Club kicked in money this year to cover lifeguard training costs and to offer a potential bonus to lifeguards if they stuck it out all season.
If the kids had to pay their own lifeguard training costs, they would not receive a paycheck for the first couple of weeks. Thank you to the funding sponsors. It is all about the kids in Broadwater County. The area needs more kids’ activities. Plans are already being made to secure funding for the 2025 season.
