From the manager…
I would like to start off by saying thank you to all that helped put on a very successful prelims for the girls last Monday. I have been doing these meets for a long time and truly feel that it was the crazy busiest one of them all. I’m also absolutely certain that we could not have done it without the help of our many volunteers. Again, Thank you!
This week the swim team season [finally] wraps up. The All City meet is at Innis on Tuesday and then on Wednesday we’ll be having our end of the year dinner and awards night. Please note that the pool will be closing at 5pm on Wednesday for this event.
Our other swim team, the Adults, took 1st place at their meet this past Saturday! Way to go! And a big thank you to Brenda Tomtan for stepping in and taking over as our volunteer head coach!
Looking ahead it’s going to be hot, Hot, HOT. While I know that closing the pool early for the swim team on Wednesday is a complete bummer, we will very likely be extending the hours on both Thursday, Friday, perhaps beyond, to help beat the heat. I’ll be sending out a reminder via email as well as posting updates on Facebook to get the word out. I might also be sending out word on whether or not to limit or not bring guests depending on how things play out. So please stay tuned!
Early Morning Lap Swim is extended until 7:30am for the remainder of it’s run. So now you can sleep in a little later and/or just swim a little longer.
I wanted to let all of you that partake in water aerobics know that it will run through Friday, August 25th.
Water Polo sign-ups are going on now. Water polo actually starts this week! Stop by the pool office for more info or to sign up. You can also find information on our web page.
The Watershow is scheduled for Saturday, August 19th. Sign-ups to participate in this annual rite of summer have begun. Stop by the pool lobby and put down your deets. Groups will be formed and the practice schedule then ironed out.
Upcoming Road Closure on 8/17 – Planning ahead – This past week I was contacted by the Seattle Dept. of Transportation regarding an upcoming road closure on Wednesday, August 17th, of 28th AVE NE, north of NE 75th down to the pool. At this time I have been told that the work is scheduled to start around noon and that the road will not be drivable for the remainder of that day. I will update if the date or duration of the closure changes. Note that the pool will remain open during regardless of the day the roadwork occurs.
Rerun on this, remember guests must be accompanied by the pool member while they are at the pool. This does mean that you should remain at the pool while your guests are using the facility.
See you at the pool!
