To find out more about who we are and what's happening at the pool, take a look through our spring newsletter.

Letter from the Board President, Al Diss
With summer just around the corner, it’s time to welcome you all back to the pool. My fingers are crossed that we have a few more sunny days than we did last season, but whatever the weather I know a lot fun is waiting to be shared.

It is now time to focus on getting ready for Opening Day, Saturday, May 10.

We have four Saturday work parties scheduled this spring. April 12, April 19, April 26, and May 3. Check-in begins at 9:00 am we’ll aim to end the day by 4 or 5:00 pm. For the first 4 hours worked you will have your $50.00 maintenance fee waived. Additional work hours put in by any family members, (age 14 and up), will earn you 10 guest passes for 4 hours worked. NEEDED: paint scrapers, gardening tools, push brooms and a power washer.

We still would like to increase club membership. Again, we are asking members to encourage a friend or family member to join. We are providing a $50.00 incentive to all members for each newly purchased membership that is referred by you. You will receive a $50.00 “Lakeridge Bucks Coupon” which can be redeemed by Labor Day for swim team fees, swim lessons, guest passes or party/private rentals. "Bucks" are not redeemable for dues, capital improvement fees or team suits. The “Membership Referred By” line must be filled in with your name and membership number to be valid. Write to us at LakeridgeSwimClub@yahoo.com and we’ll send you a form to use.

Currently membership is defined as up to two adults and their dependent children. All members must reside in the same household with the exception of separate parents who have dependent children in common. Membership does not include other adults in the separate households. Membership does not include adult siblings of members, adult children and/or their children even if residing with the member.

At our February general membership meeting the board was asked to look at some different membership structures. We have spent the last four weeks working on it and we have decided that the 'combined' membership between two different families that was discussed at the meeting would be impossible to monitor and not a viable option. We then spent a lot of time looking at the possibility of individual memberships, and for the financial stability of the pool we have decided that we need to spend more time researching options and gathering data to make a sound decision. We don’t have enough time to do that before the opening of the pool this year. We will continue working on this throughout the year. If you have or want some input into this decision you can send me an email at adiss3@aol.com.

Greetings from the General Manager Sue Bucher
It’s hard to believe that this starts my second year as manager of the pool – in some ways it seems a lot longer (grin)… but it’s been almost all good and a great learning opportunity for me. Many of you have had kind words and gentle criticisms to help me along my learning curve, so please keep ‘em coming. The more I hear from you, the more the pool will really fit what you all want and need.

Again this year we’ll need your help during the next month or so to get the pool ready to open. There’s a lot of work to be done at the work parties coming up so please come work at least four hours and make that pesky maintenance fee go away.
Check-in Procedures
The Computerized Club Management Software we used last year will again be used for member check-in. Each family member will have their photo taken at the pool to be added to our (pool use only) database. Each time you check in, you’ll enter your membership number and be added to that day’s entry record.

Also this year we will be using the guest wristband policy that we started last year.

Each guest checking-in to the pool will be issued a wristband which they must wear while in attendance.
“Swimmers” will wear a wristband which signifies usage of all parts of the pool.
“Non-swimmers” will wear a wristband which signals guards and staff that this person must stay where they can touch. After voluntary completion of a swimming test (see page 1 of the pool rules), non-swimmers may be issued a “swimmer” wristband for the remainder of their visit.

IF YOU ARE BRINGING CHILD GUESTS, PLEASE BE SURE TO HAVE A PARENT CONTACT PHONE NUMBER WITH YOU.

Again this year, our check-in policy will be enforced to insure the safety, security and enjoyment of our members. Non-member guests must be accompanied by their host member to be admitted to the pool, with the payment of the guest fee or a guest pass.

Adult Swim
We are pursuing the possibility of an adult swim coach to lead our morning lap swim on Wednesday and Friday mornings from 6:00-7:15am Amy Pieper would help you with your strokes and turns and formulate workouts.
Since there are rules and regulations connected with masters programs, including a requirement for swimmers to belong to a national organization in order to compete, we will be calling this Beyond Lap Swim.

She will go ahead only if we get a minimum number of 8-10 participants and she will be charging $20 /month.
We’d like to get this started earlier this year, so if you’re interested, please send an email to the pool, with Beyond Lap Swim in the subject.

Members Need to Know
Dues Payment
To receive ten free guest passes, postmark payment by Friday, April 25
To make payment on time, postmark payment by Friday, May 9
To keep membership from being repossessed, postmark payment by Friday, May 23

Membership dues need to be postmarked by the above dates. After May 12, payment is considered “past due”. There is a 15-day grace period for dues payment. If payment is not received by May 27, the membership is subject to repossession by the club. If this situation occurs the member will be notified that payment has not been made, and that the Board will meet in not less than ten days at which time the membership will be repossessed. The notification that a membership is subject to repossession will be mailed to the last known address of the member.

If you will not be renewing your membership, please contact us via email at LakeridgeSwimClub@yahoo.com or send a letter to Lakeridge Swim Club, Attn: General Manager, P.O. Box 78647, Seattle, WA 98178

Work Parties
We have four Saturday work parties scheduled this spring: April 12, April 19, April 26 and May 3. Check in will begin at 9am and we will be working until 4pm. For the first 4 hours put in by any family members, age 14 and up, you will have your $50 maintenance fee waived. For each additional 4 hours worked, you will receive 10 guest passes.
Membership Transfers and Sales
The club is presently accepting new memberships. All membership transactions must be done through the LSC office or via email at LakeridgeSwimClub@yahoo.com to become official. When a membership is being transferred, the seller is assessed a $50 transfer fee.

A member is free to sell their membership “on their own,” but the transfer still needs to go through the LSC office, and is still subject to the transfer fee. If membership becomes full and we have a waiting list for new members, we are willing to try to sell the membership for members. If the membership is sold in this manner the seller would receive $300 (less the $50 transfer fee).
Guest Fees
Guest fees for this season will remain at $5.00. Please register your guests at the office and pay the staff person on duty. Please remember that you are held responsible for your guests’ behavior, so make sure that they are aware of, and follow, the pool rules.

Remember that one of the rules is that guests cannot come to, or remain at, the pool without the sponsoring member present.

Rhoda Green, certified PADI instructor, offered an intro to scuba program late last summer, and we were asked to have her back to teach more classes. The Seal Team, a pool program geared for children between 8 years and 11 years, teaches scuba and underwater skills while having fun. The Discover Scuba program, for ages 12 and up is the first class toward getting certified. If you’re interested, please add your name to the list in the pool office, or send an email to the pool. The following website explains the whole program in more detail: www.padisealteam.com/english/default.asp

Tennis Lessons
We will also be offering tennis lessons. Information will be available in the pool office and on our website.

Adult Party
On Saturday, July 19, we are planning to have our annual Adult Party at Lakeridge Pool. This is an opportunity for adults to get together for good food, games, music and socializing without the kids. If you are interested in helping to plan and organize this event this year, please call the office 206-772-1950 and leave your name and number, and we will give you a call.

Informal Get-togethers
We’d like to continue to encourage members to get together for impromptu, as well as planned, dinners and barbeques at the club. If you’d like to post a notice for a potluck, feel free to ask for a space on the outdoor bulletin board or on an office window. This is a great way for members to reconnect with each other and for old and new members to get to know each other.

Private Parties
Members of the club may rent the facilities on Friday and Saturday evenings, from 9-11 pm and on some weekend mornings, from 10 am to noon. These two-hour rentals are on a first-come, first served basis and must be booked two weeks in advance with the Manager.

Swim Team, Lindsay Soetaert, Head Coach

Hello Swimmers!

I am excited to be back as your coach this summer. After a successful season last year, I am looking forward to another great season. We had many new swimmers last year; which helped our success. I am relying on you to continue introducing your friends to the swim team. There is a place for everyone on Swim Team!

We have worked hard at accommodating the increase in swimmers during practices. During the spring, the best option for practices was to alternate days for age groups. Hopefully this will help alleviate the crowded lanes we experienced last year. The new practice format during the summer requires overlap of age groups and will still be a bit crowded. However, we will be doing weekly dry land workouts and doing starts and turns during some of those overlapping times. The new format may be confusing at first, but the transition will become smoother as we do it longer. I also think this is a great opportunity for each swimmer to get to know those that are not in their age group.

This is just a reminder that the beginning of the season is crucial to each swimmer for re-developing stroke technique, building endurance, and other important swimming skills that have been forgotten or are new to the swimmer. The coaches rely on that time to be able to teach these things as well as get to know the swimmer before meet season begins. Please start swimming as soon as you can! With that said, also know that I want all swimmers to be a part of the team no matter when they begin.

See you in May!
Lindsay

Welcome to LSC Swim Team 2008!

A big thank you to our outgoing swim team coordinator, Chelley Bassett. We are excited to assist with swim team and look forward to meeting all of you. Please take a moment to introduce yourselves to us around the pool deck. Your new swim team coordinators (we needed a group to fill Chelley’s amazing shoes) are:

Swim Team Coordinators

Kelli Williams has agreed to continue to spearhead concessions this year, but is asking that a “committee” be formed to help with the planning, shopping, etc. in addition to the help that is needed the day of each home meet to set up, sell, and clean-up afterwards. It is important that all swim team parents support the team by volunteering for concessions or being a timer, runner, official, or starter, etc. The people working concessions put in a lot of hours and even if you are timing or doing something else for a meet, there are still concessions tasks that can be done before and after a meet which would be greatly appreciated – let’s spread the load around more so that it isn’t too much on just a few people! And you don’t need to have a child on swim team to help out and join the fun of the swim meets. If you are interested in helping with concessions at swim meets, please contact Kelli Williams (206-922-3408) or Karen Fuller (425-687-0468) who will be leading the timers again this year.

The Board is committed to being responsive to member comments and suggestions. To help with this effort we encourage you to send us an email (LakeridgeSwimClub@yahoo.com ) or give us a call at 206-772-1950. You can also contact any Board member directly (see phone numbers at end of newsletter).

Members are also welcome to attend Board meetings. The dates for these will be posted on the pool web site.
The web site is maintained by the General Manager at SwimLSC.org. On it you can find information on pool hours, pool calendar, swim team, pool rules and by-laws and a list of the pool board members.
