Swim 2009

We are excited for another energized Swim Team season at Swim & Racquet. The swim committee is actively conducting a search for our next Swim Coach and we are accepting your suggestions for candidates. If you have a potential person that you would like us to consider, please contact Chip Smith at chip.omni@wowway.com today.

Many members are inquiring about the swim lesson schedule. This year we will offer two sessions of two-week swimming lessons. (If enough children sign up, we will add a third.)

Session 1: Monday, June 8 through Friday, June 19 ( $20 per child)
Session 2: Monday, June 22 through Friday, July 3 ( $20 per child)
Session 3: Wednesday, July 15 through Friday, July 24 ( $16 per child)

Swim instructors will also be available for ½ hour private lessons. The fee will be $15/child or $20/2 children.

Social update

It may seem as if summer will be an eternity ... but plans are under way for the social events of the season! We are trying very hard to make Swim & Racquet "the place" to be this summer and can't wait to see everyone at the pool and tennis courts. The festivities at the club will begin with Family Fun Night and June Jam and wind down at the end of the summer with Family Carnival Night and the End of Summer Bash, with lots and lots of fun activities in between. Please check the social page on www.swimandracquet.com for a complete list of all activities and dates. And be sure to mark your calendars!

Just a quick reminder regarding scheduling. Please RSVP to social events as soon as possible. These events are run on a very tight budget and in order to keep our costs down we need to have a head count by the deadline date whenever possible. While we do realize that situations arise and you may need to change your plans, we ask that reservations be cancelled at least one week prior to the event to avoid charging your account. The caterer needs the final numbers one full week in advance and once we have committed to that number we must pay for that amount. We are doing our best to provide fun and affordable parties for all members to enjoy. Please help us keep our costs down so that we can continue to enjoy our club throughout the entire year!

Let us know if you have any party ideas or would like to host any of the summer events.

Thanks!
Christen and Lori

Planning a party?

As a Swim & Racquet member, plan your next event in this beautifully renovated space. The cost is minimal — $300.00 with a security deposit of $200.00 for ANY type of function — not just family events. Non-members can use the facility for $500.00, with a security deposit of $300.00. Remember, you can:

Bring in your own adult beverages at no extra charge. The redesigned wet bar is complete with mini fridge and microwave.
The kitchen is available for the caterer of your choice but we will reduce the rental fee if you use our preferred caterer — Preston Catering, LLC.

For a glimpse of the scrumptious items Preston catering can create, owners Evan and Sue Preston put together the following menus.

Advertising

Have you ever considered advertising your business through Swim & Racquet?

We are looking into the possibility of including business advertisements in the membership directory for 2009. Cost would depend on size of ad desired, but the impact could be immediate with a captive audience of approximately 500. The directory is usually published in May just before the pool opens for the season. If you are interested, please respond to Jon Whybrew at whybrew5@wowway.com.
