If swimming is your thing in the summer, you’ll be happy to know that you may now follow the Bluffton Community Swimming Pool on Twitter.

Jamie Mehaffie, village administrator, told The Icon that pool patrons may now follow the pool at “Bluffton Pool.” The pool managers will provide updates on pool activities, closing and conditions.

Also this year, patrons will notice a few changes at the pool. There is a new four-square and hop-scotch area, for example.

While the weather may not cooperate, the pool is ready to official open this weekend.
