A little bird told me that there will likely be a visitor to our Monday morning swim. The Times-Call is doing a story about the pool situation. The story will likely have more impact if we have plenty of people show up.
If your alarm goes off early Monday, and you’re considering rolling over and going back to sleep — DON’T. Please come swim.
Also — remember city council meeting this Tuesday at 7 pm!
Centennial Pool Update: Centennial Pool might finally emerge from its long winter nap. The latest update indicates a “mid-May” opening. So if we all think happy thoughts, we might be done with our early mornings at the Rec Center
in a couple weeks. I’ll let you know if I hear something more concrete.
City Council Meeting May 7: We hope to make a big appearance at the next Longmont city council meeting on Tuesday, May 7. Meetings take place at the Civic Center council chambers, 350 Kimbark St. This coming week’s meeting is a study session, so hopefully it will not be a long meeting. (Link to agenda) The meeting starts at 7 pm, but target getting there by 6:45 to allow for parking, signing up to speak, and mingling with your fellow citizens. And, — oh, yeah — there will be BUTTONS. If possible, wear blue.
Pool Poll Results: The Longmont Times Call front page story today (May 2) reports there is a slight majority in favor of a tax to finance a new pool/ice center. There is less support for multiple aquatic centers with no ice rink. I see this as a good thing if you would like to see a big pool!
My last post was about showing up to show support for building a new pool at the next city council on the 30th. Well, that won’t work out all that well, because the meeting has been cancelled. New date: May 7.
Save the date: Tuesday, April 30.
Let’s make an impression in support of building a new pool in front of Longmont city council.
More info to come….
I’ve posted links to a couple different open water swims lately. But the Cliff Backyard Ultra is the craziest one yet: Swim one 1.5 mile loop each hour. How many hours? Until you decide you don’t want to anymore.
This is the second year for the event. Apparently nobody died last year, so the race organizers thought they would try it again. Race venue is Wellington Lake nearly Bailey, CO. It’s a remote location, so you’re camping when you’re not swimming.
If I wasn’t going to be at a wedding out of state that day, I’d promise to be on your support team. But don’t let that stop you.
