Final post for the 2018 season. The weather waited till the last week to cause cancellations. Had to cancel 3 Thursday afternoon because of heavy thunder storm. That made for hard work for Andrew and Maia to pass their levels on Friday. Congratulations to Maia for making the Wall of Fame.
Look for 2019 schedule late February. Thanks to all swimmers and parents for making the 2018 season awesome

Update

Special weather statement has been lifted. As soon as the rain lets up a little we’ll continue with lessons

Thursday

Looks like we’ll have to watch the sky again this afternoon. We swim in the rain but not thunder and lightning. Parents help me watch the radar.

Tuesday, August 14, 2018

Tuesday

Looks like there could be rain today - especially in the afternoon. Remember, we swim in the rain. If there is thunder parents on the deck could help by watching radar and see if it is coming toward us. If we have to get out, it usually does not last long so I don’t anticipate canceling everything.

Storms could pop up suddenly today. I’ll do my best to get back on here if that happens. Remember though, we do swim in the rain. The mighty bull has bit the dust. It has a leak somewhere in the outer ring. I won’t have time till this weekend to try and find it and patch it. Treading test today for those levels requiring it.
