​Wow, is it warm...where was this weather at the end of August?

There are still a number of great ways to connect with pool friends:  One is THIS WEEK!  

Was it just a week ago that we had an amazing Labor Day picnic at the pool?  It seems like eons ago!  It was a great way to wrap up Summer 2017 at the pool.  

And it was a great summer!  We had lots of fun events, great members, an awesome swim team, and wonderful memories to last us through the off season.  

Another positive is that we ended the summer financially sound, thanks to some very generous folks.  Yes, we made it to our $3000 summer fundraising goal!  

In a summer when a number of other local swim clubs closed their doors we are very thankful for the BSC and look forward to great summers at the pool for years to come.

Coming up soon...
