Community leaders strategize to boost high school pool reopening through social media outreach

The Trousdale County Public Works meeting on January 30, 2025, focused on preparations for the upcoming pool season and strategies to engage the community, particularly youth, through social media outreach.

Key discussions included the need for effective communication about pool operations and events. Participants emphasized the importance of identifying a social media influencer within the community who could help promote activities to a younger audience. Suggestions were made to utilize platforms like TikTok, in addition to Facebook, to reach a broader demographic.

The group also discussed logistical preparations for the pool, including cleaning and chemical balancing, which are scheduled to begin on the first of the month. It was noted that proper maintenance would require at least two weeks of preparation before the pool opens to ensure safety and functionality.

Additionally, there was a conversation about involving high school teachers in the management of pool activities. Some teachers expressed interest in participating, which could enhance community engagement and support for the pool.

The meeting concluded with a plan to reconvene in two to three weeks to continue discussions and ensure that all preparations are on track for the upcoming season.
