Recreation manager: pool visits rising; Saturday swim lessons filling up
Summary
Ojai recreation staff reported a spike in pool attendance (109 participants on Aug. 2, daily average ~60) and said Saturday swim‑lesson sessions are filling; commissioners discussed expanding offerings and teen swim nights.
Christy, the recreation manager, told the commission that pool attendance has increased since the season began and provided daily totals: Sunday, Aug. 2 had 109 participants and the recent daily average is roughly 60. She said swim lessons currently run on Saturdays in six‑week sessions and are filling up.
Commissioners asked about peak hours and whether lessons or lap swim could be expanded into additional days; Christy said staffing and session scheduling will be evaluated and that Saturday programming could be revisited for the school year. One commissioner reported positive feedback from lap swimmers and noted that trial teen swim nights and skate‑park events are new offerings aimed at increasing teen engagement.
