Pool opens for the season on Wednesday
When the Ada Municipal Pool opens on Wednesday you’ll probably see Ashley Sumner making certain everything is in order.
The 2016 Ada High School grad is the year’s pool manager, after serving as assistant manager last year. She’s also worked the pool as a cashier. Ashley graduated from Ohio University this spring with a degree in early childhood education.
Assistant managers are Alexa Hawk (covid-19 compliance manger), Josie Poling and Caitlyn Stover.
The Icon caught up with Ashley last week as she was in the midst of a training session with lifeguards and cashiers. Here’s some of the things you’ll need to know about swimming in Ada this summer.
