From the Manager

Well last week at this time, inferior toilet paper and reminding people about showers were the big things on my radar. Oh how I wish to go back to such simpler days. One strange week it was, and in Mayberry we do not live any longer.

So those of you wondering what in the world I’m talking about probably skipped reading the message sent out mid-week. The one about the car being stolen. Well after that message went out we have noticed a marked uptick in people checking in their wallets, purses and keys.  We actually weren’t prepared for the higher number of people doing so, but please know we are working on solutions, both for now and for the future as well.  

Now I don’t want to turn the club into is a police state where we are checking everyone’s ID when they enter, but certainly there are some things that we should be able to do to make things more secure with regards to your belongings. It’s a work in progress and I am open to your ideas and suggestions.

Another thing that happened this past week is that we had our first poop in the pool since the 2016 season.  Now that’s disappointing for sure, but keep in mind that the no-poop-year in 2017 was really an anomaly. Just a reminder to everyone about our Double Down Diaper Policy.  It’s first a disposable swim diaper, that’s SWIM DIAPER, not just a disposable diaper, as the first layer. This is then covered by a reusable diaper cover. With the nice weather we’ve had there’s been a run on both the disposable, as well as the reusable that we keep on hand.  We’ve re-ordered and should have more in stock soon. In the meantime if you are bringing little ones to the pool please plan ahead, and if you are bringing guest, please share with them this policy as well so they aren’t surprised when they get to the pool.

Now it’s going to be another hot one this week! I’ve already started preparations by setting the pool thermostat to a lower temp and by this time tomorrow the boiler will probably be off for what looks like an extended period of time. As I’ve mentioned in the past, 84 degrees is our normal operating temperature, but when the weather gets to be like it’s supposed to be this week the pool will continue to gain heat during the day, so if the pool is set at 84, it can get as warm as 88 by the late afternoon, which pretty much feels like bath water. Yuk!  The only way around this is to try to start the day at around 80.  This can make the early morning activities in the pool a bit more invigorating than usual. Also, leaving the pool covers off does help to dissipate this heat overnight but it really just allows the pool temp to drop back down to 80 again the next day, where it just starts all over again.

This week we have our last home meet of the season on Tuesday. Despite the fact that the pool will be closed again on another glorious summer evening keep in mind that we don’t host any of the post-season meets here at WW this year. I just got word that volunteers are still needed for this meet see the swim team request below.

We will start our pick-up water polo games on Wed night for 13 and up.
