Tuesday evening swim now 8-10 p.m.; pool rules reminder

The Ada Municipal Pool announced the following on June 16:

"We would like to start this post off with a big thank you! A thank you to those who support our pool whether that be throughout each day or by simply passing along the word to a friend. We have had an overwhelming number of patrons on Tuesday's midnight swim and in order to keep our staff and patrons safe we have decided to suspend midnight swim.

"We will have a nightly swim each Tuesday from 8:00-10:00 p.m. We will closely monitor the number of patrons entering in order to ensure we have an adequate number of lifeguards on duty.

"We are a family friendly, safe environment and we would like to remind everyone who patronizes the pool that we do not allow alcohol or anyone who is under the influence of alcohol or drugs. If you are suspected of being under the influence you will be denied access to the pool. A few more rules we would like to remind everyone to follow are listed below!"
