Pool Work Days and Raffle

4/5/2025

0 Comments

 
Do you love the pool, or at the very least like it a lot? Do you also think there could be some improvements?  Then join us for Pool Work Days 2025 and receive a chance to win $250 back on your 2025 membership! This year we have added a raffle component to our work days as a way to thank the families and members that support our pool. We will be giving out 1 raffle ticket per membership household that attends, and works to prepare the pool for opening day. In order to win, a member must be present at time of drawing, and the work must be completed to a reasonable standard (  in other words, please don't make things worse ;) ). We will be hosting 2 pool work days this year, with a possibility for a third. Jobs may include scraping and painting, weeding and planting garden hillside, sanding, clearing woods debris, setting up furniture and other jobs at the boards discretion. The first date is April 26, with May 3rd as a rain date, beginning at 10 am, and wrapping up around 2pm.

Coffee and donuts provided by the Pool Board. Children are welcome, but child care is not provided. 
Please bring any tools you may find useful.

Many hands make lite work. So let's all chip in and get the pool ready for summer 2025!

Pool Cover Removal Party This Saturday, April 24th

4/21/2021

0 Comments

 
Pool Cover Party, Spring 2021 - This is the one cleanup activity that absolutely requires numbers, so if you can be there, please do!  

Yes, it snowed this week.  Yes it's still April.  And it's been a long time since we've removed the pool cover!  The 2021 pool season is going to happen and we're excited to get the pool up and running.  

Join 20 of your favorite pool friends this Saturday, April 24 at 9:30 am to get the pool cover off the pool.  We need to get the pool drained, cleaned, and filled to make sure the water is crystal clear before Memorial Day weekend.  

We'll need at least 20 folks for about 30 minutes to help remove the cover.  This will happen rain or shine! 

So, bring a mask, bring a friend, and bring thoughts of summer fun at the Blackridge Swim Club!  

*** Please email [email protected] if you can help ***
