Guardians of Our Pools Although the Independent feels that there is a strong need for additional swimming facilities in the City and County, we feel just as strongly that the pools we have now are adequately and efficiently manned as to lifeguards. A visit to five of the pools Monday found some very capable lifeguards at each pool. A short interview with the personnel at each pool gave one a feeling of confidence in the fact that our children are receiving the best possible attention. The unpleasant discovery was that Salt Lake City has only three outdoor city-operat- ed swimming pools. In the south east area of the county there is the Holladay outdoor and the Granite indoor pools only. The largest of the county pools is Fairmont which measures ap-proximately 120 feet by 60 feet and can handle 300 youngsters per hour. Liberty and Jordan are both approximately 100 by 50 feet and have a capacity of 250 per hour. Holladay and Granite pools are smaller and can handle 100 or less per hour. During hot weather all pools operate at capacity with many more waiting outside than there are swimming inside. It is evident that many more swimming facilities are needed which should include some year round pools in order that swim-ming instruction can be given in the winter to make summer play more enjoyable and safer. During the busy hours there are never less than 3 lifeguards to a pool, one male and two female, and never less than 2 at any time. The guards are supplied by and supervised by the County Recrea-tional Dept. and each holds a Senior Red Cross Life Saving Cer-tificate. An average of two people per year owe their lives to these capable individuals. i I I "55 MS-?- 1 !i. ,-- -- S f if V 'f 'i ' S Granite High Pool Life Guards: Left to right-Ga- yle Rosan, Ross Ferrin. and Sandra Noakes. , , Jordan Park Life Guards: Left to right-M- ont Thornock, Loralee Tucker, and Pauline Eliason. y.r I . )v , Vi" :. ...:'( 'V ) - - rr. t 1 ..
