After unexpected delays to the start of its season, the Farmer City pool is going to open just in time for a heatwave starting today.

On the WHOW Morning Show Tuesday, Farmer City Administrator Sue McLaughlin told Regional Radio they had to delay the opening of the pool by a couple of weeks due to some unexpected issues during the seasonal preparation process.

The opening of the pool was delayed by 19 days. In response to that, Farmer City has reduced its price for its seasonal pass. McLaughlin says it remains a really good deal for a family pass for the season.

According to McLaughlin, they have a new pool manager this year and the goal is to offer some lap swim hours, swim lessons, and a few other unique opportunities.

McLaughlin points those interested in learning more about the Farmer City pool to follow the City of Farmer City Facebook page.
