Just a reminder that we’ll be switching over to the summer schedule soon.
— All swims are indoors before Memorial Day.
— No Saturday or Monday morning swims Memorial Day weekend.
— Noontime masters will move outside the week of Memorial Day (last week of May).
— Morning masters will move outside the first full week of June.
— Saturday morning swims will start at 8 a.m.
As of yesterday, the plan was to have the Rec Center lap pool open this week (April 14 – 18) and closed next week (April 21 – 25).
THE PLAN HAS CHANGED.
Noon masters will be at Centennial this Thursday, April 17, in addition to Tuesday, April 22 and Thursday, April 24 next week.
We’ll be doing a switchover from indoors to outdoors around Memorial Day — similar to what we did last year.
— No Saturday or Monday swims Memorial Day weekend.
— Noontime masters will move outside the week of Memorial Day (last week of May).
— Morning masters will move outside the first week of June.
— We’ll stay outside through the end of July
An important difference from past years:
SATURDAY SWIMS AT SUNSET START AT 8 A.M.
The Rec Center pools will be closed next week. As a result, the noon masters swim will be moved to Centennial Pool on the 22nd and 24th.
Hopefully there will be no additional maintenance closures, and noon masters will return to the Rec Center the following week.
We did it! Team LOCOM made its first splash at the Polansky Sweetheart meet hosted by Loveland Masters at Mountain View Aquatic Center.
