LOCO SWIMMING

Wow! Feels great to have all this space and light at Centennial Pool! Eighteen swimmers in four spacious lanes.

They are still doing a little clean up work on the deck, but it didn’t get in our way.

Centennial is scheduled to open Tuesday, May 14! This is what May/June looks like:

Morning masters (MWFS):

• Will hit all three pools in the next month (LRC => Centennial => Sunset)

Thanks to all that attended Tuesday night’s Longmont City Council meeting in support of a new pool and ice center. Special thanks to the masters that took to the podium — Meagan, Rich, Ed, Mindy, Megan, Beejoy, Dana. There were likely others, but I forgot to take notes, and it’s past my bedtime! We’re going to make this happen! Thank you!

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!
