Saundra Johnson Aquatic Center opens

Many area pools opened for the season Saturday but one in Calhoun County opened for the very first time. The Saundra Johnson Aquatic Center brings something brand new to the county, just in time for the summer season. The pool has been a couple of years in the works by the 1982 Foundation. The foundation is also working on turning the former Calhoun County High School into a $9 million children’s swimming center. The aquatic center is named after Saundra Johnson, a lifeguard in the county and the mayor of Grantsville. Season passes for the aquatic center cost $150 for single, $200 for a couple and $300 for a family. Daily passes are $5 and weekly passes $25.
