Members of Collingswood's Roberts Pool, hoping to savor what's left of the summer, will have to freestyle and backstroke in Haddon Township this Labor Day weekend after an unholy gaggle of geese relieved themselves en masse at the community's dipping grounds.

According NJ Pen, the borough of Collingswood announced the spacious pool, ravaged by the droppings, "must be drained and extensively cleaned, which cannot happen by end of regular season."

This serious bummer is not without a silver lining, however, as members of Haddon Township's Crystal Lake Pool have extended the courtesy of honoring Roberts Pool passes for the duration of the holiday weekend.

Don't ever underestimate the wrath and cunning of a goose. This guy knows.
