Float Nights - Saturdays 6 - 8pm

Come join the fun! The diving well is closed to make room for fins, flippers, noodles, and floats. Please be mindful of the size of your float/tube - oversized floats/tubes will not be allowed if children can get trapped under them! The Board and/or the lifeguards can limit the size of the float if they feel it is unsafe to our membership and guests. Please remember children of all sizes and ages will be sharing the pool during this fun time - excessive rowdiness and rough play will not be tolerated.

Registration to join the Tiger Shark's this season is tentatively scheduled for Saturday, April 28, 3pm-5pm at Rudino's. Questions, contact Kristi Trevillian or Mike Betke. Completed registrations and swim team fees can be dropped off at the pool's Open Houses Saturday or Sunday in May.

Tennis Update
Dust off that racquet and sign up for the 2012 TVWRA tennis ladder! We would like to have enough participants to do a men's, women's and youth ladder (We will have both a boys and girls ladder. In addition, we may also do youth age divisions to make it more competitive. However, this will depend on the number of sign-ups!). The youth ladder is for players 16 and under. Please sign up in June when we post the ladders. Sign up sheets will be located near the recreation bulletin board at the pool (by the men's restroom). Check out the Challenge Rules page for ladder rules. Email Charlotte Staples if you have any questions.

Thursday night tennis - come join us each Thursday night at 6:00pm for doubles tennis. All skill levels are welcome, so don't be shy if you haven’t played in a while. Email Charlotte if you want to get on the weekly email list for Thursday tennis, as we sometimes have to change the day to Wednesday if there is a conflict with a swim meet.

Tuesday Night Ladies Tennis was a success, so we will do it again on Tuesday starting at 6:30! Dust off your racquets and join the growing crowd! It looks like this will be a regular weekly event!

Adult and children’s clinics and private lessons are now available!! Tommy Richards, a USPTA - 1 tennis pro has been teaching 25+ years, most recently at his club in Goochland. Tommy played and coached at the college and high school level and has been ranked nationally in doubles, mixed doubles and father-son doubles. If you interested, please contact Tommy at tommytennis56@hotmail.com.

Horseshoe Update
We had a fantastic turnout each weekend afternoon for horseshoes in 2010 and 2011. We know 2012 will be even better! Anyone who would like to pitch shoes is encouraged to join us on the hill for a few games - the more the merrier!! Also, for those members that are not aware, the horseshoes and rakes are located in the storage shed. Please see one of the guards or board members if you need them.

Since we are starting a tennis ladder, we didn't want the horseshoes to feel left out! There will be a sign-up sheet for a team horseshoe ladder as well near the recreation bulletin board at the pool. This will be for men and women age 16 and up. If we get enough interest we will have a separate men's and women's ladder. Sign ups are in June once the ladders are posted.

Unfortunately, some of the neighborhood kids like to use the boulders by the horseshoe pits as targets for glass bottles. Although we try our best to clean up the glass, we strongly encourage parents not to let their children near the horseshoe area unless they have shoes on.
