Be a part of Summer Mavericks

We're so excited about this year's Summer Mavericks — come be a part of it! We're the fastest growing team in the entire West Bay Swim League. The summer season runs June 14 to August 20. We have 10 workouts per week for Levels 1, 2, 3, and 4 — something for every skill level, ages 5-18. And family-focused swim meets are real highlights, with great team camaraderie and a load of fun "recreational competition".

The 2010 Summer Mavericks Handbook is now available. Check it out for meet dates, parent meetings, and all the details about this season. Join the summer team that’s making waves! >more

Aqua Fit Summer Nights

Starting Tuesday, June 15, evening Aqua Fit is moving to 7:00–8:00pm. Just for summer, we scoot the Tue/Thu class an hour later so that we can stay in the Instructional Pool. Popular demand is for the warmer water, more space (and less distraction!) in both shallow and deeper water. Come try Aqua Fit! Our amazing instructors guide you through a workout that's a whole-body, positive experience. Get a great cardio workout that's low impact but high energy, and enjoy meeting a bunch of new friends and having a blast in the water. >more

Locker Room Hot Water Heater Replacement

Great news! Our outdated water heater for the locker rooms is being replaced. During installation, shower water temperature will be affected. This will last for about two weeks, until roughly June 12. Yes, the water might be a little chilly, but on the positive side, you’ll be invigorated and energized. And with the new heater, there will be hot showers all day for everyone to enjoy!

Cool Tips for the Sizzling Summer Sun

Keep yourself hydrated by drinking plenty of water! Sodas and sports drinks can be tasty, but they have a lot of sugar and salt. Don't forget about the simplicity and purity of water. To add a zest to your water, add a lemon wedge or a couple of mashed up strawberries for a splash of taste. Water does wonders!

Wear protective clothing. The Menlo Swim and Sport Pro Shop sells Radicool protective clothing and O'Neill rashguards. Both are water wear with built-in SPF protection.

Sunscreen! To avoid sunburn while swimming apply waterproof sunscreen 20-30 minutes prior to entering the pool. Try to swim in the morning or evening to avoid the greatest sun exposure, which happens 11am to 4pm. Reapply sunscreen every 90 minutes after being in the water. And protect your scalp from the sun by wearing a swim cap.
