BALLSTON SPA —Some good news for village kids: The public swimming pool in Kelley Park will open two weeks earlier this year, weather permitting, and fees will stay the same as last summer.
The pool is scheduled to open at noon June 13, with weekend hours and a shortened schedule on weekdays, trustee Donna Thomas told the Village Board Monday night. The hours will be “weather-driven. If it’s 60 degrees and there’s not anyone in the water,” the pool will close, she said.
Sign-ups for summer swimming lessons will be held from 9 a.m. to noon June 27 and 28. Information will be sent home from the schools and will be posted on village bulletin boards.
More than 500 children usually take lessons. Despite increased costs for payroll, chlorine and other pool expenses, fees won’t go up. “We‘d love to raise them,” said Thomas, but in today’s economy, rates will stay the same.
Two years ago, the board voted to increase the price for a seasonal pool pass from $25 to $35, but kept the daily pool rate of $2.

There are none so blind than those who will not see.
There are none so deaf as those who will not hear.
You pool fanatics say the same old cliches every year and nothing changes. Time to put it away.
And every time a state workers labor contract is up they use the same old chorus. GIVE US MORE!! GIVE US MORE!!!
Why don't we go to Ballston Spa instead and boycott the park?
Here's what STVPS members should be saying George!

Also, go ahead boycott the park, who the hell wants you if you're going to bring that negative karma into it.
