Maskwa Starts Next Week - Swim Schedule/Paddling Schedule

Lots going on as usual.

Two things I'm hoping someone might be able to donate to the club - a whipper snipper and clippers. We really could use these so our custodian can keep the area clean and trim back the bushes.

This year the parents on the beach will be happy with the two new canopies - we really felt these were needed to help offer parents/kids more shade. Thanks so much to Gordon MacLeod for taking care of this.

Next week all paddling and swimming classes start on Monday. I have posted the new updated swim schedule and paddling schedule in this blog. It will also be posted at the beach on the old club house. One thing I would like to remind parents is to watch how you park your vehicles. Please make sure when you park in the first parking lot that there is enough room on both sides for cars from the back to get out. Please also feel free to encourage your children to bike - we do have bike racks located in the 2nd parking lot.

Also new this year are lockers in both the male/female washrooms. These are small lockers and free to use. No wet clothing and no food. Please provide your own lock. I suggest for those kids not willing to part with their cell phones/I-pods to bring a plastic bag and put those electronics in that first and then lock them up while you are either paddling or swimming. Or better yet leave them at home - there is a phone inside the club house for all to use for free.

The gym is to be used only by our High Performance paddlers or 18+ members. All members wishing to use the gym please see me for a gym waiver.
