In the News this Month:
Non Summer Hours: September 28 – May, 2010 Lap Swimming Open Swimming Family Swim
Let the Stressful Day Float Away Menlo Swim and Sport is happy to announce some positive changes to our Non-Summer schedule from last year. We will now be open until 5pm on the weekends, one hour longer than last year at this time. We have also added Family Swim, Monday through Friday in the evenings. Family Swim will be held in the warm Instructional Pool, which will be under the Air Dome. We invite you and your loved ones to come swimming together as a family after a long, hard day at work and school. Come to Family Swim Friday Nights during the month of November and receive healthy snacks while you, your family and your friends enjoy the evening and welcome in the weekend with a splash.
Chilly? Tired of the Cool Weather? Come Swimming! Come swimming in the nice, warm Instructional Pool under the Air Dome at Burgess Park. The Air Dome is simply a fabric material that encloses the pool and is supported by air pressure that is forced in to keep the dome shape intact. A wire cable is attached the bottom of the dome. The wire is then attached to eye bolts that are anchored into the pool deck. We plan on having the Air Dome over the pool for twenty-two weeks a year during the coldest, wettest weather, coinciding with our Winter and Spring 1 sessions. The Air Dome will conserve energy which in turn helps our environment. The Air Dome will also offer protection from the cold winter weather for the children who attend swimming lessons and Open Swimming and for the senior community who swim laps and do water aerobics. The Instructional Pool will be closed on Saturday, October 31st and Sunday, November 1st to erect the Air Dome over the pool. We thank you in advance for your patience, cooperation and understanding while we set up the Air Dome, which in turn will better serve you, our community. Find out more about the dome's fun facts and safety features. >more

The ladies of Mavens water polo team like to thank all the lap swimmers who were affected by the one day closure of the Performance pool last month for the Menlo Mavens 2nd Annual Water Polo Invitational. The tournament was a success. We hosted women from all over the Peninsula and some from the Central Valley who came to play water polo in Menlo Park. The tournament was good exposure for the game of womens water polo, in addition there were many young girls with hope and aspiration in their eyes, way to go Mavens for being a positive role models. >more
