Catch the wave

Wagner Swimming Pool Committee hosted an end-of-summer swimming pool party August 11. The purpose of the party was to increase awareness of the fundraising efforts to build a new pool in the community and to promote health, fun, and excitement for all of those in attendance. The children attending participated in a belly-flop contest, limbo, relay races, and hula hoops. The finale featured participants creating an atomic whirlpool. The pool committee has hosted many events in the community, including a haunted house, golf cart and yeti cooler raffle, pool parties, and an event at the baseball field. They have also advocated the project through time on South Dakota Public Radio with help from the South Dakota Gives campaign.
