What’s Happening: Aug 19th – Sept 2nd

Remember last year at this time?

As this much improved August rolls on… The next couple of weeks will be the last of our full time pool schedule this summer, and starting Labor Day weekend, pool hours will start to decrease and then we’ll make the switch to our shoulder season schedule shortly thereafter.  

September 15th will be our final day of operations, so with less than a month to go it’s time to get your pool time in now, especially if you enjoy aerobics and/or early morning laps.  Aerobics will end this coming Friday the 23rd, and early morning laps will wrap up on Friday the 30th.

Now, staffing that last couple of weeks that the pool is open can sometimes be a challenge, and this year will be no exception. Add on a recent jury summons that one of the guards received doesn’t really help much either. That being said, we are going to try our best to keep doing our afternoon adult laps along with the general swim hours as well. Depending on the staffing situation and the weather though, we may have to make some adjustments, but that may come down to a day of sort of thing.

With a limited number of staff, one thing that we have done in the past that has seemed to help with keeping things manageable has been to not schedule parties, and/or have the pool be open for members only. We are planning on doing some of this again for the last couple of weeks of operations, so if you were thinking about bringing guests, and/or having a party, now is the time to do it. Please don’t wait until September!  More schedule specifics can be found on the pool calendar.

Enjoy these last few weeks.

Aerobics

The last day for aerobics this season will be Friday, August 23rd. The annual end of the season pot-luck lunch will be on Wednesday, August 21st at 1pm.
 


Early Morning Laps

The last day for early morning laps will be Friday, August 30th. Also a heads up that starting on Monday, August 26th, the Roosevelt Girls Swim Team will start practice at 7:30am. You should expect things to get a little busy toward the end of the lap swim time and the start of their practice through the end of that week.


Lost and Found

Once again the lost and found is on display in the pool lobby. These items will be donated next week on Friday, so please take a look prior to then. Also note that any items lost and then found after today will be placed in the bins on the west side of the building.
 


Labor Day

Labor day will kick off with the Biathlon again this year. The event will run 9:30-10:30am, with warm ups starting at 9am. The biathlon can be done individually or as a team. For participants 13 and up, the event consists of 1000-yard swim and 5 laps around Dahl Field. For those under 13, the event consists of a 300-yard swim and 2 laps around Dahl Field. A sign up sheet will be posted in the pool lobby.

From 2:30-3:30 we will have the return of the fabulous Labor Day games. 

Pool hours on Labor Day 12-7.
