With rain in the forecast it is a good reminder that rain water can affect the chemicals in outdoor pools. A good way to minimize the challenges rain causes is to close your flow cell on your chemical controller until the rain passes.

The city of Green Bay has been a long time customer. Over the years they, like so many others, have struggled finding lifeguards. This is exactly the reason we started the Carrico Aquatic Safety Foundation. We were excited when they applied for a grant for this unique program designed to help promote the lifeguarding field.

Have you ever thought about becoming a lifeguard, but you weren't sure if you were ready yet? Our FREE Lifesavers Pathway is designed to build your skills and prepare you for the stand!

We’ll help you sharpen your stroke technique, build your endurance, and master everything you need to ace the pre-requisite test. Think of it as your personal training camp for a summer of saving lives!

Once you’ve crushed the pathway, you’ll be ready to apply with the City of Green Bay and get officially certified.

It has been 7 years since our friend Don passed away. Each year you think it will get easier but there are still times I wish I could pick up the phone and talk to him. Wish we could show him so goofy meme and get him laughing.

We all still miss him and wish he were here with us.

Andy and the team had a great time at the Iowa Park and Rec event last night, however it looks like he let Collin stand on a bucket so that he could be taller

Over the years we have witnessed our customers struggle to find staff for their pools especially lifeguarding staff. After the pandemic this became even more difficult as facilities tried to rebuild after shutting down for a season. Because of this challenge we have decided to start the Carrico Aquatic Safety Foundation. The goal of this foundation will be helping non profit generating facilities (cities, schools, and YMCAs) by providing grants to help offset the costs associated with hiring lifeguards, training lifeguards, and promoting general water safety.

Currently you can find a link to the foundation on our website www.carricoaquatics.com While we are starting small with an initial donation from Carrico Aquatics we are hoping to grow the foundation, allowing us to promote water safety on a larger scale.

We have been working on this idea for over a year but we are excited to share the news as we prepare to award our first grant.

Please let us know if you have questions or ideas on how we can make this program work for you.

Thank You
Matt

Just letting everyone know that with the blizzard warnings and poor road conditions we have decided to keep our office team working from home today. If you are trying to get ahold of the office email will be your best option today.

We will be reevaluating as the day goes on for any service calls but with a majority of our customers closed we will be keeping people of the road as much as we can.

March 11 is the day that we celebrate both Toms birthday and the anniversary date for Carrico Aquatic Resources. It was 28 years ago that Tom and Sandy started the company just happening to be on the same days at Toms birthday. While he is bit older than 28 it is incredible to see how far we have come in the past 28 years. We now have 5 warehouse locations across Wisconsin and Iowa, and we service nearly 900 pools in 5 different states. That is a long way from Suite B in Oelwein (Tom and Sandys basement).

Over the years we have been fortunate to have so many pool operators give us a chance to work with them and we also are fortunate to have a great team of people working for Carrico Aquatics. Without all of them we wouldn't be able to do all that we have done.

Within the last week Andy and I also returned from the annual meetings for both BECS and Pulsar. At the BECS meeting we were presented a market share award, 3rd in North America for market share and 8th overall.

At the Pulsar meeting we received a Diamond Partner Award for our work with Pulsar and their products. In this group we ranked in the top 5 for sales in North America.

Even though Tom doesn't have FB he does get a chance to see these posts, please wish him a Happy Birthday.
