This week at Wedgwood Swim Club – May 31st – June 5th

Welcome back Sun! The pool will be open during sunny weather this week!  Yahoo!

Big news this week, Early Morning Lap Swim starts Tuesday, May 31st!  It will run 6-7am weekdays.

Swim team workouts Tues, Wed, Thurs this week.  Last day to order gear is 5/31 – 9am!
8 and under swimmers     7:00 – 7:30 pm
9-11 swimmers                   7:30 – 8:00 pm
12-14 swimmers                 8:00 – 8:45 pm
15 and up swimmers         8:45 – 9:30 pm

If you weren’t already aware, guest fees went up and are now $5 per guest for the first 20 per season. After the first 20 the rate is $7 per guest. Party guests are a slightly different rate as well, $6 per guest. These prices do include 9.6% sales tax.    The complete guest policy can be found here.

Please, if you notice something that needs attention, or you have a question about something, don’t hesitate to let someone on the staff know.  We try to get things fixed and/or back to you in a day but with school still in session it might take a tad longer.

Just a friendly reminder to drive slowly on your trip to and from the pool.  And it should go without saying, park legally and with regard to our pool neighbors. Trust me, they do not like having their driveways encroached upon any more than the rest of us.

Member lesson registration is next week on Wednesday, June 8th from 6-7:30pm.  If you are planning on registering for lessons make a note of that.  If your child(ren) need a placement test getting that done prior to registration will be very helpful.  Placement tests can be done pretty much any time the pool is open.

See you at the pool!

Opening Day – Saturday, May 21st

Ready or not it’s finally time to kick the 2016 season off! We would like to welcome you to, or welcome you back to this little urban slice of paradise.

The WW Pool Board would like to extend a special greeting to everyone joining the club this year. Wedgwood is a community, and our goal is to keep everyone safe and keep the pool fun. In order to keep our community connected, Wedgwood needs member involvement. We need members to participate in work parties, volunteer for the Board, help with the swim team, keep the pool clean, and keep a positive attitude. Volunteering is also an opportunity to meet new people. This community has given me some great friends over the last 30 years.  I’m looking forward to getting to know you, too.

Let’s make the 2016 Swim Season another wonderful summer at Wedgwood!  We want everyone’s experience at Wedgwood to be positive and rewarding.  If you have any questions, concerns or suggestions regarding Wedgwood, please feel free to contact me or any other Board member. All Board members (and their phone numbers) are located in the pool directory.

2015-2016 Board President
