FOREST HILLS INFORMATION (UPDATED AUGUST 20, 2011)

Starting Monday, August 22nd, Forest Hills will open from 3 to 8 on the weekdays. Weekend hours will remain the same (11 to 8 on Saturday and 1 to 8 on Sunday).

Dear Forest Hills Member:

The weather is finally getting warmer and the pool season is almost here. We would like to thank everyone for joining Forest Hills in the past because we realize there are other pools available. Your support allows us to continue to upgrade the facilities and we look forward to your support this year.

In 2011, we are excited because the majority of our experienced staff is returning. Erik will be leading our pool staff with many of returning guards and some new ones. Most of the new guards you will know because they are Forest Hill members. We are pleased that everyone can return. An experienced and trained staff helps make Forest Hills the best pool around.

We will be continuing our activities to upgrade your pool facilities. We are committed to always improving the club each year. Your comments are an important part of this process, and we encourage your input. My email address is mlynch1423@aol.com. Forest Hills is your Swim Club and your suggestions are important.

Our swim team is hard at work planning and coordinating with the other pools and the Roanoke Valley Aquatic Association (RVAA) concerning swim meets, city/county championships as well as organizing for splash nights, ice cream parties and other fun-filled activities to make for a successful year. Swimming is the best sport for children and adults alike to come out and get some exercise. We want to encourage all members to come out and participate with our swim team. In an effort to support this cause we are waiving the swim team registration fees for this year for all new swimmers and returning swimmers as well as any swimmers who move over from other clubs. Erik Largen will be leading the finest coaching staff in the valley. Rebecca Muzzy will be managing our team. Stephen McTigue will be helping when he can but his work schedule will not allow him to manage. We need swimmers and your support to have a great swim team season. Everyone will be asked to help Rebecca with the volunteer positions to run the swim team. A handful of people can not do it all. If everyone will do a little then it is not a huge burden on a few people.

The pool will open May 28 and follow the Roanoke County School Schedule. The normal pool hours once school is out will be Monday through Saturday 11:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. and Sunday 1:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. The website and FACEBOOK will contain all the pool and swim team information as well as updates during the summer. The address is foresthillsswimclub.com. The website will contain all the forms and information you may need. The pool and the office number is 540-776-8501. The pool fees and swim team fees will be the same as last year except for the free swim team registration fee mention above. As in the past, members will be asked to sign-in at the front desk when you enter.

Swim Team Information

The Forest Hills Swim Team offers great summer fun and activities for the entire family. We need both swimmers and helpers who can come out and join the fun. We want YOU to swim. We have swim meets on six consecutive Monday nights, beginning June 4th. The season ends with the RVAA City/County Championship Meet, July 22 and 23 at the Salem YMCA. During the season, we have ice cream socials, donut parties, potluck dinners, pizza parties, and more. Where else can you have all that fun and improve your swimming skills? ANYONE, age 5 to 100 years old, that can swim the length of the pool, is welcome!

Our coaches focus on making summer swimming FUN while mastering the strokes, starts and turns. Returning this year to coach the team are Erik Largen, Lindsey Matko, Will Ammen, and Jenny Kellenger. David Henderson and Nicole Podlecki will be joining the staff for the upcoming season. They are already hard at work developing plans and activities for the upcoming season. We believe that our coaches are the best in the valley in running our program for swimmers of ALL ages. Rebecca Muzzy have agreed to manage the swim team and they will be coordinating the swim team activities. Please help and volunteer to work the jobs and activities necessary to have a swim team.

Our swim team needs the support of all members to cheer them on and to help at the swim meets. There are lots of opportunities to be involved. There will be an informational and registration meeting at the Gator Aquatic Center on Sunday, May 14th at 2:15 pm. The team newsletter will be available at the meeting with dates of upcoming activities so you can plan to attend. If you have any questions about the swim team, please call the pool at 776-8501 or Rebecca Muzzy at 725-1451.
