Fun Times at Marlow Pool

Letti Cole, 7, of Marlow, daughter of Laura Jenkins, braves jumping off the diving board into the 12-foot end at Marlow's pool on Tuesday. The temperature was 105-degrees, but Letti didn't seem to mind as long as she could have fun. Many area businesses and individuals sponsored free days this month. It continues through Saturday, and the pool closes for the season at 6 p.m. Photo by Toni Hopper/The Marlow Review

Lifeguards Sage Minyard and Logan Woods try to be serious for just a moment, while fellow lifeguard Jayson Manning watches their antics. Minyard thought she was going to pull a prank on Woods, but he was ready and jumped into the pool (see next photo) for a quick cool-off during the 105-degree day on Tuesday. They all agreed that summer has gone by too quickly.

Logan Woods takes a quick plunge into the pool.

Logan Woods and Tyler Spivey take their lifeguard duties extremely serious at the Marlow Swimming Pool this summer. Normal pool attendance is around 40 to 60 individuals, but thanks to the sponsorship of many businesses and individuals, pool admission has been covered for July and until the pool closes for the season at 6 p.m. Saturday. Attendance has been averaging up to 85 individuals per day.
