Coming soon to the pools near you: lifeguards—and lifeguard chairs!—at the Lopez Swim Center! Thanks to a generous 2024 grant from the Lopez Thrift Shop, two Mendota portable lifeguard chairs were purchased and are in storage, waiting for the Center's opening day in late 2025. These weather-resistant chairs will offer perches for our swim-safety specialists to keep a lookout—and make sure everyone in the pools are staying safe while having fun! We greatly appreciate the Lopez Thrift Shop's continued support!
