At its July 22 meeting, the Petersburg Borough Parks & Rec Advisory Board heard from resident Theresa Craig that regular morning pool patrons have continued meeting despite the pool being closed. "Having no water in the pool has not stopped our spirited early morning ladies!" Craig said and described replacement strength-training classes for patrons who normally attend water aerobics.
Craig told the board the goal of the classes is to "keep the habit, social and physical accountability for all," maintaining community continuity while the facility pool is unavailable. Board member Michele Pfundt later noted she had received multiple compliments about the morning sessions, suggesting the makeshift program has community support.
