New at the Pool for 2011

Morgan Filler is excited to offer at the BTC pool, a comprehensive program using the Smart Fish Method and her own experience to emphasize effective water survival skills (for all ages) that progress into championship stroke technique for recreation or swim team.

Where is this going to happen and how is it going to impact the current pool conditions? The lessons will take place during specific hours on the east side of the pool and marked by a temporary lane line. The middle area of the pool will be free for play and diving and the west side of the pool is not changed for lap swim. There will be expanded lap swim hours that will be the first 30 minutes of every hour, where the diving board will be closed.

The swim committee invites member feedback on how to make this all work for the best.
