Information (UPDATED MARCH 2,
2010)
Dear Forest Hills Member:
It is hard to believe that pool season is almost here with the snow we
are having. We are looking forward to the season just to get some
warmer weather and melt the snow. We would like to thank everyone for
joining Forest Hills in the past because we realize that there are
other pools available. Your support allows us to continue to upgrade
the facilities. We are looking forward to your support this year.
In 2010, we are excited because the majority of our experienced staff
is returning. Erik will be leading our pool
staff. Lucy has agreed to lead our coaching staff. There are a lot of
old guards that plan to return and some new guards who are getting
trained now. 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 for a safe and successful pool
year and that makes 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. 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.
With Lucy’s leadership and our returning coaches we will have the
finest coaching staff in the valley. We only need swimmers and your
support to have a great swim team season. Stephen Mctigue has agreed to
manage the swim team so please help him out and volunteer to work the
jobs necessary to run a swim team and swim meets. A handful of people
can not do it all. If everyone will do a little then it is not a huge
burden on one person.
The swim team kicks
off with tune-ups on May 15th at 2:15 at the Gator Center. An
informational meeting for all parents will be held on the next day, May
16th. Please
come out and show your support for the “Oscars”, by participating with
the team. The pool will open May 29 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. There will be postings and/or calendars with other dates
and activities including swim meets at the front desk during the pool
season. The website will contain all the pool and swim team information
and updates during the summer. The pool and the office number is
540-776-8501. The pool fees and swim team fees will be the same as last
year.
You will be asked to
sign-in at the front desk when you enter.
Thank you for the past support. Remember the 2010 swim season is just
around the corner, so make your plans to join the Club Now.

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 8. The season ends with the RVAA City/County
Championship Meet, July 23 and 24 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 Lucy Lockwood and Erik
Largen. 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. Steve
McTigue 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 16th at 2:30 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 Stephen McTigue at 725-7620.
