From opening day to the final swim, our lifeguards and pool staff showed up for our community 7 days a week, all summer long!

This incredible team supported swim lessons, classes, public swim, camps, pool parties, and countless opportunities across two KPRD pools for our community to cool off, stay active, learn new skills, and make summer memories.

Starting with training - and all season long - they brought professionalism, positivity, energy, and an unwavering commitment to safety. Their work behind the scenes and on the pool deck made an enormous difference, and we are incredibly thankful for everything our pool staff shared with KPRD and our community this season.

Thank you for an amazing summer Brooke L, Kara, Kalee, Nora, Antonio, Sophia, Maggie, Fiona, Brynne, Alyssa, Max, Caleb, Adriana, Brooke D, Jonah, Erin, Mason, Peter, Anderson, Zade, Myrah, Eloise, Analyce, and Kyley - you truly made it one to remember!
