Email Newsletter – March 8, 2021 (part 1 of 2)

Hi all,We are, officially, starting back up this week. Yah! I have received (30) positive emails, so far, of those joining back starting this week. Still waiting to hear back from about (25) more swimmers. I will need commitments for each pool and day and time as some pools have limited space ASAP. You can let me know week to week or for a duration of time. If your swimmer is going to gone for any reason let me know ASAP in case we have a waiting list.

Registrations
See the website under “Team”. Please fill out and pay which is due on first day of practice. Most of these can be filled out and scanned or emailed to me. I know some have some credit or owe some for previous seasons. We will contact you individually with any questions. We are about 3/4 done with billing. I would like to send out a billing statement every other month and stay on top of this.

Hi all,We are very close to getting back in the pool. It is up to you to let me know if you will be participating. I have had several people let me know what they are up to but many I have not heard anything from. I hope you are ok! Please let me know one way or another!!!
We are looking into pool time at Middleman Jewish Community Center and North Clackamas Aquatic Park. I need to get a hard number on how many swimmers would be attending each of these locations. I would like to go back to the monthly fee structure. If you are only participating one time per week you can still pay $15 drop in fee. The pools that I have been in contact with are charging $140 (NCAP) and $150 (MJCC) per hour. I am waiting to hear back from Bay Club for weekends, also, at $150 per hour. This Schedule would start next week. I do need a significant number team to return so that I don’t bankrupt myself:(
Practice updates:
These would be potential times:
MJCCMon 7:15-8:15pm, possibly adding 8:15-9:15pm if more demand
Tue 7:15-8:15pm, possibly adding 8:15-9:15pm if more demandWed 7:15-8:15pm, possibly adding 8:15-9:15pm if more demand (or NCAP)

NCAP(Wed 8:15-9:15pm) Dryland 7:30-8pm outside (Depends on which pool has most interest between MJCC or NCAP)
Thu 8:30-9:30pm
Fri 8:30-9:30pm
Bay Club (no bathrooms or showers)
Sat 2-3pm (Maybe later depending on availability) possibly adding 3-4pm if more demand
Sun 2-3pm (Maybe later depending on availability) possibly adding 3-4pm if more demandLOHS Pool- No word to when we can start using this pool. We may need to get an email campaign to get back into that Pool. I have sent many emails but I am a West Linn resident. It will probably take LO residents to email to make a difference.
