Former lifeguard has questions about the swimming pool

I used to be a lifeguard at the pool and recently re-visted it. There were quite a few changes. There were new ID passes and no longer a concession stand but vending machines. New shade structures and lounge chairs, but no heater or wading pool. It was great to see a new lifeguard chair in the zero depth area.

Both boards were still in sue, which is unusual in this day and age and the slide was packed.
