Colusa’s businesses and community members have stepped up to sponsor “Free Swim Days” so the public can swim at the town pool at no cost each Saturday during the summer.
June 25 was the first free admission day of the summer, after Hickel & Hickel donated $300, which officials said helps cover the labor costs associated with the pool.
The donation was matched by Councilman Greg Ponciano, followed by Denise Conrado, Josh Hill, and Mayor Pro Tem Daniel Vaca, who oversaw the June 23 meeting in Mayor Tom Reische’s absence.
On sponsored days, the public can swim for free to beat the heat for the whole day. There will be no price of admission. To donate, contact the Recreation Department at Colusa City Hall, 530-458-4941. ■
