Summer in Lovelock would not be the same without the community pool. It’s been that way since it opened on July 4, 1974. This year swimmers will notice some new lifeguards on the job: Alexa Watson, Sam Diarte, Anika Happy, Averie Parades and Aurora Knight. They’ll join returning guards Khloe Montes, Arya Garland, Chealse Woodard and Lillian Wagner.
Pool director Marti Nolan said the guards received their instruction in Lovelock. They spent mornings in class at the firehouse and afternoons at the pool practicing their skills. Since its opening, the pool has employed over 400 lifeguards. For many, it was their first job.
The pool has also hosted over 4,000 swim team members in competitive races. Chelsea Montes will coach the Lovelock swim team this summer.
