The Russell Swimming Pool has had a great few years! From fabulous teenage staff, certified instructors and lifeguards, and superb community support through the summer months, it finally feels like the pool has gained some momentum.
With this momentum the Russell Pool Board is looking to make some considerable positive waves in the coming years. In recent years, board members have organized numerous fundraising activities, including pool parties, calendar raffles, Halloween celebrations, and volunteer work supporting local organizations like Beef and Barley and the Russell Take a Year off Lotto. Additionally, grant funding has been secured to support the purchase and installation of the turf, which has proven to be a popular and well-utilized addition for swimmers throughout the season.
Our community pool’s priorities include: acquiring a new boiler, renovating the office and change-room facilities, purchasing and installing a new waterslide, expanding the turf area, and enhancing the pool deck’s appearance through new furnishings and decor (including seating, umbrellas, flower pots, and an exterior mural). Please note that as a registered charity, we are able to provide tax receipts for any involvement in our sponsorship program.
