Welcome.
Every now and then municipal employees have random thoughts...that is exactly what this was. We were sitting around trying to figure out how do we keep everyone (or at least those that want to seek out the info) up to speed on what is happening with the pool, especially once the walls go up.
Naturally, being the government types we thought about newspaper advertisements, radio ads, press releases, the formal municipal website, posters, quarterly brochures and the list went on (and on and on and on).
In essence all of the usual, formal, ways that we try to communicate through. But at the end of the day we weren't truly satisfied that would meet your demand for info, our desire to be casual, and be extremely timely in our updates (preferably the day something cool happens (like turning on the taps, tiling the whirlpool, installing the showers, etc). By the way, I am a pool guy so this stuff does excite me - hopefully it will excite you as wel.
So at the end of it...a few of us got together and tried to decide on what would be the easiest way to get our message, show what is happening in the pool, let you see some (if not most) of the background things that go into building a pool and get some creative and interesting photos that you would not see otherwise. Generally just keep you up to date in a casual yet instantaneous manner on building the pool
Well, here we are (thanks Google!)
So, starting in December we will post here on an infrequent basis (perhaps the better phrase is on an impulse basis) photos, comments, schedules, plans and who knows what else on the building this pool.
Oh, and by the way, when we talk about building the pool we do not just mean the structure (although that is the cool stuff) but we are talking about deciding on equipment, making the swim schedule, decisions with user groups, swim lesson times, events and more. Sort of a catch all of building a pool, more to it than just making a hole in the ground and tossing water into it.
Anyhow, enjoy, make comments, and come back often.
