Are you still looking for something fun and healthy for your kids to do this summer? Well, Camp Menlo has opened up some additional space for you to register your children. The first weeks of Camp Menlo sold out and kicked off with many happy children and pleased parents. Camp Menlo focuses on water activities. We offer a diversity of water sports while cultivating water skills and building a strong foundation in aquatics for a lifetime of safety, health and enjoyment. All kids must be able to swim one length of the pool without assistance. There are two weekly camps to choose from. The morning camp from 9am 2pm and the afternoon camp from 2pm 6pm. >more
Dont get burned! Come check out the new line of sun protection clothing from O'Neill. Menlo Swim and Sport now carries O'Neill long sleeved and short sleeved tops for Adults and Children. The fabric is made with an ultraviolet protection of 50+. If you choose to go 'au naturale' and not wear a sunshirt, to avoid sunburns while swimming, wear sunscreen! Apply waterproof sunscreen 20-30 minutes prior to entering the pool. Make sure to reapply your waterproof sunscreen every 90 minutes after being in the water. Menlo Swim and Sport now carries a wide array of products from Ocean Potion, including spray-on sunscreens, sunscreen sticks, anti-aging face moisturizer, zinc oxide face cream and Aloe Vera lotion. Try to swim early in the morning or later in the evening to avoid the greatest potential of over sun exposure between 11am to 4pm. To protect your scalp from the sun, wear a swim cap.
