Sangsu Kim Earns January Aquatic Team Member Recognition

Congratulations to Sangsu Kim for being January’s inaugural recipient of the new Aquatic Team Member of the Month award!

Sangsu joined our team as a lifeguard in May 2022 and has many years of lifeguard experience before joining our team. He is an exemplary team member, has an attention for detail, is always polite and courteous to others, and provides exceptional care to guests.

Sangsu became a lifeguard because he enjoys helping others and keeping swimmers safe. When Sangsu isn’t working as a lifeguard, he enjoys eating ribs and spending time with his family; often watching movies with his daughter and swimming at The Rec. We are proud to have Sangsu on our team!
