							As a

							most effective and least offensive manner to get 
							your point across is to stick to the issue 
							and refrain from commenting on another person's 
							opinion. Letters that deviate from focusing on the 
							issue may be rejected or edited and marked as such.

            | To the editor: A great big 
			thank you to Lincoln Park District Aquatic Center Manager Jennifer 
			Prather, Park District Director Becky Strait, those who maintained 
			perfect pool water all season, others who worked the support 
			stations including entry and the food shack, and of course to a 
			great bunch of lifeguards. 
 It was a wonderful season!
 
 The daily lap swimming signup/scheduler prevented overcrowding and 
			allowed individuals the reliable opportunity to get a good fitness 
			workout. Water Aerobics continues to be of greater interest as 
			another means of enjoying the water and fitness. Families and youth 
			were able to enjoy the pool and fun water slide, and the youngest 
			frolicked in the wading pool with fun sprays and fountains.
 
            [to top of second column in this letter] | 
            
            
             
            There were many positive comments on this wonderful 
			facility and those who worked it this year, especially for Prather's 
			efforts to serve the public and welcome swimmers. This is not an 
			easy job, but especially in the year 2021 just opening up at the 
			start of the season from covid and workforce shortages.
 At the end of the season a card was passed around thanking Prather 
			for her management. Everyone present was happy to sign it.
 
 Nice work!
 
 With much appreciation,
 The lap and water aerobics swimmers
