There have been major changes to the swim schedule for the remainder of this year affecting all swims from mid-March onward. Please take careful note of these changes.
The Reasons for the Changes
These changes are necessitated by both our experience with the cancellation of bookings as well as upcoming construction and maintenance activities at the pools:
- due to the repeated cancellation on extremely short notice of swims at Pool X by pool management due to their inability to provide a sufficient complement of lifeguards, we are cancelling all swims at this venue for the remainder of the year
- Pool W will be shut down from early March to early April due to maintenance
- due to a major renovation project at the building housing Pool N, there will be no access to the hallway on the lower level and Aerobics Studio (where our yoga classes are held) for the March 23 swim and no access to the gym and change rooms (including the saunas and steam rooms) for swims held at this venue in March, April and May
* Update #1: The renovations at Pool N have been advanced to mid-March, thus starting a couple of weeks earlier than expected thereby affecting the swim on March 23.
** Update #2: The phase of the renovation work affecting the hallway on the lower level and Aerobics Studio was completed by mid-April and these facilities will be available for our swims in April and May.
How Does This Affect Upcoming Swims?
The March 8 swim at Pool S is unaffected.
The March 23 swim has been relocated from Pool X to Pool N. See the note below concerning swims in March, April and May at Pool N.
The April 6 swim at Pool N has been cancelled.
A swim at Pool W has been added to the schedule on April 13.
The April 20 swim has been relocated from Pool W to Pool N to avoid consecutive swims at Pool W. See the note below concerning swims in March, April and May at Pool N.
The May 4 swim has been relocated from Pool X to Pool W.
The May 25 swim remains at Pool N. However, see the note below concerning swims in March, April and May at Pool N.
