Last week outside

Face it: the end of summer is here. It’s time to let the boiler at Sunset Pool get some rest. We have one more week at Sunset Pool before we move inside to Centennial and the Rec Center. Last day at Sunset is Saturday, September 19.

Now for the bad news. On weekdays at Centennial we are only allotted 4 lanes. That means we’re capped at 12 swimmers for masters on weekdays. On Saturdays we get the entire pool, so we’ll have space for 18.

Noon-time masters at the Rec Center will get just 3 lanes (9 swimmers max).

Because I know that the Webtrac system is so friendly to use, I looked up the codes for you. I’ve also included the codes for lap lanes at the two pools.

If you act fast, you can snag one of the two lap lanes at Centennial from 6-7 am. That will let us sneak 1 (or 2) more people in to catch the workout.

If all else fails, just reserve a lap lane and swim on your own. I’ll continue to post the workouts to this website.

Time to be ready for anything

Although the weather has been toasty the last few days, we’re in for a change. There’s a very good chance there will be no masters swimming on Tuesday and Wednesday of this week. When I asked Saturday, the plan was to make the call on Monday, Sept 7 on whether the pool will get shut down completely or just shut down for a couple days.

A reminder (in case you haven’t tried to sign up to swim on Labor Day yet), there is no masters swim on Labor Day.

Stay tuned for updates as they become available. And cover your tomatoes.
