Pool Closing Date

The last day of the swim season is Sunday September 12, 2010. We have had a great year and look forward to more fun next swim season.

July Potluck

Please join us for food, fun, and an opportunity to meet and greet your friends and neighbors. The Northview Swim Club July potluck is Saturday July 24th at 6:00PM. Bring a main dish and a side or dessert to share. The pool will provide plates, utensils and water to drink.

Lap Swim Etiquette

Just a few tips for lap swimmers so that everyone can enjoy the experience:

• The pool is not available for recreational swimming during lap swim time.
• Look for an open lane. Choose a lane that isn't occupied by another swimmer.
• Enter the swimming lane at the shallow end.
• If all the lanes are full you can wait for a lane to open or ask another swimmer to share a lane.
• If you decide to share a lane, let the other swimmer know that you want to share. Try to share a lane with someone who swims at about the same pace as you.
• If you are sharing a lane be aware of the other swimmer(s). Stop at the nearest end if someone needs to pass you.

Northview Swim Club has two lap swims scheduled each day during the swim season.

12:00 - 1:00 pm

5:00-6:30 pm

Northview Swim Club Sharks

The Northview Swim Club Sharks, the club swim team, is competing in several swim meets this summer:

• July 15, 2010 at Indian Springs; the meet begins at 6:15 PM.
• July 29, the Sharks will be competing at CBRC, again the meet begins at 6:15.
• August 5, Northview will be hosting the meet. We will need to use the pool that day from about 5:45 until about 8:00 PM.
• August 12th is the final meet. It is a "fun" meet, with silly events held at River Crest Pool. The starting time is 6:15.

Come cheer them on!
