July 29th – August 4th

The Pool will be CLOSED on Tuesday, July 30th as we are hosting the Boys Prelims meet. There will be no aerobics, lessons, or open swim time.  Early morning lap swim will be happening at the usual time, but please note that the pool will be on the chilly side. Also, there are still a few critical volunteer spots yet to be filled for the meet, so if you happen to be available tomorrow, mid afternoon – evening, please come down to the pool and sign up today. It would be much appreciated! 

The remainder of this week is looking just dandy. We’ll be open regular hours for the rest of this week with the only exception being Saturday when the pool will be open a little later in the evening for another Adult Party and Kid fun float. More details on that below.

With the start of August also comes the sign ups for both Water Polo and the Watershow. If you’re going to be around during the next few weeks and you’d like to keep the kids a little busy, but not swim team kind of busy, then they might be something to consider.

It’s going to be a fantastic week ahead, enjoy this week to the fullest! If your plans involve coming to the pool, which they probably should, please remember to double diaper, not bring glass containers, leave the alcohol at home, and always shower before getting in.

See you at the pool.

Adult Team

Congratulations to our Adult Team, we fought our way to a well earned 2nd place this year. Coach Annie and Kai did a fantastic job and they are already looking forward to leading the team again in 2020! I’ve also heard some rumors that WW may be hosting this event next year as well as rolling it back to the first Saturday in August.


Adult Party and Fun Float

Saturday, August 3rd 7:00-10:00pm  “Ice Cream Social”

Sweet: A wide variety of Ice cream and toppings
Savory: Snacks and appetizers
Beverage: Daiquiri and Margaritas with an assortment of beers

As usual, snacks and ice cream will be available for your kids. The pool will be open for “Anything Goes” including floaties from 7:30-9:30pm, and please note that there will not be any lap lanes during this swim.

Of course, first come first served so get here early and enjoy the company of your Wedgwood pool community.


Lost and Found

The lost and found is out in the lobby and has been on display now since late last week. Please take a look at it on your next visit to the pool. It will be donated when we roll into August on Thursday.


Water Polo

We have one last pre-season water polo clinic this Friday, August 2nd, from 12:00-12:45. The clinic is just $5 each for both members and non-members. Participants must be at least 7 years old and be able to strongly pass the swim test. Information about the regular season should be available by the end of this week. Please note that our August polo program will only be for kids 12 and under. Sand Point will be taking our 13 and ups. Please contact them directly for information.


Watershow

For those of you that don’t know, the Watershow is a fun filled hour of almost synchronized swimming to music. Groups of kids, and sometimes even adults, perform a variety of entertaining and occasionally off-the-wall routines at this annual rite of summer. So, are you looking for something to help keep the kids busy after swim team? The Watershow is a low key way for them to practice all of those other strokes that they didn’t work on while at workout, like the side stroke, the leg in the air underwater somersault and the flying out of the water flipperoo. Being a swim team member is not a requirement for participation, nor is super strong swimming skills. This event is open to EVERYONE willing to endure the fun and camaraderie of preparation for the big show.Practices will start the week of August 6th, but each group will have certain days/times that will be sent out in an email after you sign up. We will have a rehearsal the night of Friday, August 16th and the show will be Saturday, August 17th! Usually we start once it gets dark, but group leaders will give you more info about what time kids need to be there on both the 16th and 17th. You don’t want to miss this experience! Sign up on the sheet labeled “Watershow” on the window across from the office in the lobby.

If you have questions, please feel free to contact our Watershow Coordinator,Ms. Kayla Crow.
