President/General Manager’s Message

Dear Members,

Around the office, we tend to call the last two months of the year a
“slow” time at the club. Well, I’m challenging all of you to make it a fast time. Let’s close out the year strong! Whether it’s shaving ten seconds off your mile swim, adding fifty pounds to your squat, hitting two or three classes a week instead of one, finally challenging that player on the tennis ladder you’ve been eyeing for weeks, or stopping by Dink & Drink to boost your social capital — make it happen. Forget New Year’s resolutions; I’m talking end-of-year resolutions. Let’s get it.

Speaking of carpe diem, let’s talk about our upcoming events. We’d love to rub shoulders with you at our Wine Tasting on November 15th, 5–7 PM. Ever looked at a wine menu and wished you could try them all before committing to a glass? This event lets you do exactly that — times a hundred. It’s like being a kid in a candy store… but for adults. See the Social section of this newsletter for details on how to sign up.

And if dressing up in Italian suits and bejeweled dresses while you electric slide your way across the dance floor sounds more your style, save the date for our Annual Holiday Party on December 13th. Enjoy finger foods, an open bar, a live band, and a disco light-filled dance floor. If you remember last year’s party — well, it means you
probably weren’t really there.

Here’s to making November a month of momentum, connection, and a lot-o-bit of fun at the club.

Austin Thompson
General Manager

We hope you’re enjoying your summer and making the most of pool
season! As we look ahead to the fall, we want to inform you that we will not be holding a Fall Swim Team session this year. Many of our
dedicated coaches and team members will be heading off or returning to college, and we want to ensure we maintain the high-quality experience you expect from our program.

That said, we’re excited to announce that swim lessons will continue
on weekends throughout the fall! This is a great opportunity for
swimmers of all levels to continue building skills, staying active, and
having fun in the water.

Thank you for your understanding and continued support. If you have any questions or would like to register for fall swim lessons, please don’t hesitate to reach out.

In regards to lessons, starting June 1 , ALL LESSONS (new and
previous) will now be 30 minutes Instead of 40. WE have limited
availability for lessons and want to give as many people the
opportunity to learn to swim as possible. Reminder packages of 5 are for lessons once a week for 5 weeks. We do not offer lessons for a full week.

1. The small pool is for non-swimmers
2. No kickboards allowed.
3. All babies must have on swim
