‘Twas the night before Christmas, and all through the yard,
The pools were all covered, with Dave standing guard.
The covers were snug, tied down with care,
In hopes that no reindeer would happen to tear.

The team worked so quickly on this Christmas Eve,
To make it more likely the reindeer would leave.
With chemicals balanced, no algae in sight,
They were happy to keep pools sparkling and bright.

But up in the sky, what on earth did they spy?
A sleigh and eight reindeer appeared in the sky.
“Not again!” cried the team, as they watched in dismay,
“Will they land by the pool? We must keep them away!”

With nets at the ready and pool covers tight,
The Hastings’ crew prepped for a long winter’s night.
But Santa called out, “Don’t you worry, my friends,
Your pool-perfect magic is a joy that won’t end!”

The reindeer just hovered, taking a peek,
At shimmering pools with their covers so sleek.
With his nose shining brightly, Rudolph said with glee,
“Let’s finish our work and make all the kids happy!”

So, Santa departed, his heart full of cheer,
“Thank you, my friends, you saved Christmas this year!
With no splashes, no trouble, no hoofprints to dread,
I can focus on toys and what lies ahead.”

The crew felt relief, their work now was done,
And they wished Merry Christmas to all and each one!
From the pools to the homes, let joy overflow,
With our team on the job, the holidays glow.

Hastings Water Works Celebrates 30 Years In Business!

As the founder and CEO of Hastings Water Works, I am deeply honored to announce that we have achieved another milestone in the history of our company.  2022 will mark our 30^th year serving clients in Northeast Ohio.

As we celebrate this achievement throughout the year, I want to take a moment to recognize that we wouldn’t be here today without you – our clients, our employees, our vendors, and our partners – who have helped shape Hastings Water Works into the world-class organization that it is today.

It may have started from a gravel floor basement with me, my truck, and an idea about delivering exceptional pool services.  But then something remarkable happened: we grew into Ohio’s (arguably the Midwest’s) largest swimming pool service, maintenance, and management company with over 300 employees during the summer season.

Our success stems from pursuing new ideas, challenging how we do things, seeking out new technologies, methods, and products, and remaining flexible to meet the ever-changing needs of our clients – particularly during these past few years.

Without the support of the dedicated Hastings Water Works team and our clients, we would not be the nationally recognized, award-winning aquatics company we are today. We hope you’ll join us throughout the year as we celebrate – the first 30 years!

Stay tuned…

The post Make Up to $14/Hour Lifeguarding appeared first on Hastings Water Works.

It takes a special person to be a lifeguard. And it takes an exceptional person to be a Hastings Water Works lifeguard.

In order to determine how to find lifeguards like the Hastings Heroes who come back season after season or work for us fulltime, we asked them what they love about working here.

Jordan says, “I love the company and I love the job. I enjoy that I can spend my summers outside while making money and being able to travel to different locations and meet new people. I love how easy it is to communicate with everyone and how I’m able to work as much as I want.” 

 Aja says, “This isn’t just a job, it’s a hobby. Hastings Water Works has become family and home! Great staff and management: every problem is handled. Teamwork is amazing. They care. The company is not like others where you feel used and replaceable at any moment. I know management will work with me, back me up, and help me out at any given time. They have helped me in many ways, so I feel committed to them and to give back in return.” 

If you’re interested in one of the lifeguards at Hastings Water Works – or know someone who would – applications are now open. 

More feedback from lifeguards at Hastings Water Works:

I am always looking for a way to have a supplemental form of income and working outdoors is a fun and easy way.

I liked the option of working at many different pools. Lots of options for hours!

It’s a good company and the staff are very friendly!
