Last Colfax open swim Friday

The last open swim for the season was Friday night at the Colfax swim pool. The swim will be sponsored by Greg's Electric and Colfax Thrifty Grandmothers.

The Aug. 17 open swim drew 98 people. It was the third swim under the city's new policy of recruiting sponsors to pay the cost of operating and staffing the pool during the four-hour swim. The law firm Carpenter, McGuire & DeWulf sponsored last Friday's swim.

Last day of operation for the city swim pool will be Saturday. Two lifeguards on the pool staff have already departed for college.
