It might be hard to believe, but another Lakeside summer is right around the corner! In less than 80 days, you and many Lakesiders will once again be able to swim in the pool at the Grindley Aquatic & Wellness Campus. In addition to the second season of the swimming pool, we are also excited to provide wellness classes and seminars at the newly finished Wellness Center.
 
We are so thankful to you and the entire Lakeside community for enabling us to complete this project in such a short amount of time. Just two years ago, we were preparing to launch the capital campaign to fund the facility, and now we are overjoyed to see Lakesiders using the pool and Wellness Center to improve their health and fitness.
