Charlie.
Another optimistic soul that is the backbone of this community.
Charlie is a WSI lifeguard who has been at Joe DiMaggio pool for 17 years and often shifts to many pools in the city. We’ve even run into him at Camp Mather.
I remember the first time I met him was when Tracey started to swim on a more regular basis in the mornings before work and sometimes Lee would accompany her. I stopped by once and signed to Lee through the window to come outside so we could walk home. Charlie immediately ran out after making sure I “was the papa”. Don’t know how many people would have done the same to keep him safe and in general just have that kind of awareness for our community. True family atmosphere and vibes on every interaction
