NEWS FROM THE Y
26 December 2011
We hope you and your family had a great Christmas holiday but the fun is not over yet. We still have a New Year to ring in! However, you may have noticed that during the Winter Break (Dec. 26 - Jan. 8) our small warm water pool is closed for repainting. We know it's a bummer for the little ones not being able to splash around but the wait will be worth it.Before this project, the bottom of our small pool was chipping off in large chunks. During open swim and preschool swimming a lot of our little swimmers would dive to the bottom of the pool and pull the chunks off. One of our moms dubbed it, "diving for treasure."
It has only been one day of work and nearly all of the "treasure" has been scraped off the bottom of the pool! We are working our hardest to make the small pool look like new! Come check it out during one of our open swims once the small pool opens back up beginning on Monday, January 9th!
