    Family Affair!

    by Scharette, 5 months ago

    The Manchester aquatics facilities have been instrumental in creating memories throughout my life! I met my now husband when we both started out as lifeguards for the department (he is now the Recreation Supervisor overseeing those same facilities!) I also spent many years teaching lessons, and some of those kids I’ve taught are now lifeguards themselves. A year ago we had our first son, and now he gets to take swim lessons in Manchester as well! A full circle moment.
