It’s the first few days of summer following the end of school and the local pools are full. Jumping, playing, swimming, sunning and talking are not only school children but generations of families who have come to make the local municipal pools a part of every summer. “It really was fun growing up here,” shared Vergennes Pool Lifeguard Chris Castillo. “Being able to teach younger kids and seeing them simply love being in the water makes it all the more fun.” Whether  it is daily swimming, swimming lessons or the local Vergennes Champs swim team, the Sam Fishman Memorial Pool or simply the Vergennes Pool as it is known is open and at full tilt already this summer. Jordan and Tyler Kimball have been coming to the pool for over five years now and were quick to add, “Just how much fun it really was.” Daily regular Kate Ayoette is eleven and simply cannot remember a summer in her life without coming to the pool every single day. She had big grins and nothing but happy stories to share about this annual summer destination for so many. Grandmother Barb Fitzpatrick was happily spending the afternoon with her visiting granddaughter Abby who makes generation three of her family that has benefited from the joy of being outside, swimming and being around family and friends.
