Smile

What makes Greg Conner smile? “My kids and a packed Forest Park Aquatic Center on a hot sunny summer day,” said the 40-year-old Noblesville resident, who was found at the Aquatic Center. He is thrilled about the expanded season of the Flix and Float family movie nights at the pool, with a total nine movies being shown this summer. The next movie night is 8:15 p.m. today (Saturday), featuring “Madagascar,” Rated PG. The pool stays open later for guests to watch movies poolside on an LED video board that’s visible in the daylight. The video board was installed for the 2022 season and allows movies to begin much earlier than in the past. Conner is president of the board of directors for Friends of Central Pool, a nonprofit that operates the pool and consists of dedicated volunteers like Conner. He was born and raised in Noblesville and graduated in 2001 from Noblesville High School and in 2005 from Purdue University. He was a competitive swimmer in high school. “Growing up in Noblesville, my summers were spent at the Forest Park Aquatic Center, training and competing as a member of the Noblesville Swim Club.” He met his wife, Lisa, at Purdue, where she attended on a swimming scholarship. At Purdue, he was involved in student government, wrote sports for the Purdue Exponent and was a member of Theta Chi fraternity. He and Lisa have four kids, Blake, Bryce, Drew and Nora. After tonight, remainder of the Flix and Float season includes:“Cars,” Rated G, 8:15 p.m. Aug. 12; “Remember the Titans,” Rated PG, 8:15 p.m. Aug. 19; and “Back to the Future,” Rated PG, 7:15 p.m. Sept. 4. Admission is free to members or $5 movie wristbands at the gate.
