Windows were smashed out, leaving shards of glass on the ground. The damage is mostly on the inside.
Lifeguard officials say nothing of significance was taken from inside and repairs on both towers have already begun. In the meantime, both towers are still operable.
"Hate will not win," said county Supervisor Lindsey Horvath. "Not today, not ever. We will repair the tower and continue to fight the extremism that has given rise to acts of hate like this because the only way to fight hate is with love"

A police report was filed but it is unclear if the vandalism is being investigated as a hate crime.
