Picture This, a nice warm afternoon Wes and I approach this lovely little area. In this area there are approximately twenty from the graduating class and sixty children all at the age of six, and numerous parents, what do you do? Chill the lemonade, and break out the oldies, Why? you ask, Because it's time for PUBLIC SWIMMING! That's right nothin' but fun in the sun around this place of wonderful happenings.

A civilians worst nightmare, well actually there are sixty of them. But to a select few, actually seven people who call this activity work, seven lifeguards to look after the civilians and two cashiers keep this place the happening place all summer long. and the leader is none of this circus is none other than the infamous Stephanie Will, the big cheese in these here parts.

A good view of what goes on from inside the office where many a good deed get done, right up from scheduling right to doing nothing, but what you love, Save people from the perilous depths of three meters at the deepest. On a busy day the pool will have about 120 individuals in it at once and for who knows how long they will stay and enjoy the atmosphere. with friendly staff and great music like Buddy Holly and the Crickets I wish I could have stayed longer.

That would be Stephanie Will, She runs the show around here, Keeps everything going smoothly not for herself but for the public for which she loves. Born and Raised in Tisdale she knows everybody and treats them like family.

Scott Hooper showing us the proper form and procedure for doing the perfect cannonball.

It was a great place to visit and everyone was sad to see us go, which proves that in this small town that the staff and public will be hospitable and hopefully for years to come. The Tisdale Aquatic Centre will keep doing what they do best. Making people smile, bringing the town as a whole closer together, and supplying hours and hours of fun, more than one person can handle.
