Forks pool temporarily closed

The Quillayute Valley Aquatic Center in Forks has been closed temporarily to retrain and organize its lifeguard staff.

A round of training was needed to certify new staffers taking the place of those who have left, said Barb Gronseth, chairwoman of the Quillayute Valley Parks and Recreation District board.

Gronseth said several former staffers are college students who have gone back to school.

The pool will reopen in the near future, she said, and that more information and updates will be posted on the center’s Web site, www.forkspool.com.
