Wessington Springs Municipal Pool lifeguards took a quick break from preparing the pool area to pose for a photo ahead of opening day scheduled for June 1, 2025 (weather permitting). Thanks to the efforts of the park board and private donors, admission to the pool is free for the 2025 season. Pool-goers simply need to complete a form including name, contact number and address to use the pool. This can be done at the entrance shed at the pool. Lifeguards shown left to right are: Tierney Knipfer, Kendall Kolousek, Logan Mohling, Ella Kolousek, Alexis Roesler, Kaitlyn Braun, Brooke Mohling, Brock Krueger and Wesley Molnar. Traci Schweitzer (not pictured) is the pool manager this season and is working on programs and events for the summer months. More in upcoming editions of the True Dakotan.
