IN THE BEGINNING • ACKERMANN'S CAMP
HOW ACKERMANN'S GREW
Hot summers in St. Louis took “Happy Times Nursery School” from pre-school to swim camp in the summers with the invention of the first blow-up pool.
Where the pet duck “Quaky” swam, we built our first pool. This spot is now our Pool #3.
Alice and Al Ackermann worked hard to keep the swim camp running.
Our first in ground pool is now our Pool #3.
Swimming in the first in-ground pool with the giant homemade filters and heater.
As we grew, we built another pool, our #4.
Our big pool #4. The pipes now go through the walls instead of over the deck.
