Perfect Weather for Sprinklers

While Saturday's opening of the pool had some let-downs (threat of thunderstorms and the lightning that comes with it), Sunday was perfect. The sprinklers were on (although the sprinkler in the playground was not, happily), and the pool seemed well-utilized. The parade of pool-goers on the way to and from the subway station has begun!

How was it? Did anyone check out the pool and love it? Hate it? Lap swims start July 6th- 7-8:30 in the AM and PM.

Register for Laps/Lessons/Team at Sunset Park Pool

First things first: Learn to Swim!

The first of three courses for ages 18 months through 5 years and 6 years through 14 years begins on July 8th, and it continues through July 23rd. Registration is on July 7th from 9 AM to 11 AM at the pool. It's first come, first served. Proof of age is required (a copy of a birth certificate), and children ages 6 through 14 will have a water test on registration day.

Lessons for 6 through 14 years take place on M/W/F from 9-11 AM, and lessons for 18 months through 5 years take place on Tu/Th from 9-11 AM. (This was from the city-wide number; I think it might actually be 10 AM - 11 AM.) I do know that lessons are free. Call (718) 760-6969 for more information.

SWIM TEAM! For those ages 6 - 18 who want to challenge themselves to more formal training, the Sunset Pool is hosting a 2008 Summer Swim Team, including a championship meet on August 9th.
