The City of West U has been getting ready for opening day for the past several weeks. City staff did a test on all the pools and pumps and made sure things were running properly.
Edloe Street Café, the pool’s concessionaire, has deep cleaned the concession facility and prepped for opening day. The menu includes hamburgers, hot dogs, chicken nuggets, french fries, soda and healthy options.
The city has also trained its lifeguards for opening day and will continue to provide on the job training throughout the season.
The pool will have between five and eight lifeguards on duty at all times, Recreation Manager Brittany Bakes said.
“We want to keep people safe and that’s the priority,” Bakes said.
