Smalley Pool Earns Five Star Award
ELMHURST, Ill. – Just weeks after East End Pool took home the award, Norman P. Smalley Pool also earned the prestigious Five Star Award following an unannounced performance audit of the lifeguards and management staff. Awarded by the Starfish Aquatics Institute (SAI), one of the largest lifeguard, swim instructor and pool operator certifying agencies in the U.S., the audit is a testament to the talented lifeguard staff. According to Leslie Donavan, President of SAI, “Very few aquatic facilities qualify to receive this honor. It represents a tremendous commitment to safety and training, and exceptional performance by the lifeguard staff on duty at the time.”
The local lifeguards who contributed to the Five Star Award achievement include Brian Feeney, Scott Brasko, Eric Glaubke, Kevin Rzeszutko, Anna Eckhoff, Meghan Flynn, Max Harrold, Kathleen O’Brien, Abby Rees, and Jake Sackstedder. Congratulations to all involved!
