Overnighter! 

The Annual Wedgwood Overnighter is returning on Saturday, June 29th – Sunday, June 30th.  The Overnighter is an opportunity for the children to stay in the pool later than usual swimming and playing games, have food, watch a movie and sleep in tents around the pool with their friends.  Every year, Chris Matsumoto runs the Wedgwood Overnighter.  He stays up all night to ensure that kids are safe and if anyone needs to call home, someone is there to help.  It is a really fun event.  

IMPORTANT REMINDER: we are NOT serving dinner. We provide some late night snacks including pizza. Your child should come to the Overnighter having already eaten dinner. 

Here is a brief rundown of the Overnighter Schedule:

  • 6:30PM Tents are set up
  • 8:00PM Overnighter starts (pool stays open for participants until 10:15PM)
  • 10:15PM Pizza, snacks and movie in the MP room
  • 7:00AM Pick up children and tents

All participants must have a signed permission form (attached).
The cost for participation is $20 per child if they spend the night and $11 per child if they intend to leave at 11PM.

Future Events (Save the Date)

  • July 1st: Adult Swim Team starts Mondays and Wednesdays @ 8-9PM

Looking forward to a great summer!

June 17th – What’s Happening At The Pool…

Hello swimmers,
One more week until school is out, the pool hours go full time and all the fun gets under way down at the pool! I will send those hours out next week along with updates on all of the events we will have this summer so keep an eye out for that. If you are eager to get planning for those, the calendar is always linked to our website so you can look ahead there.

Lifeguard/Swim Instructor Internship

I wanted to tell you all about an opportunity for members who are 14 years and up.  The Wedgwood Internship will start June 28th (Friday).  The purpose of the Wedgwood internship is to provide prospective candidates with an opportunity to:

  • Gain experience with the tasks and responsibilities of a Wedgwood staff member
  • Learn about the expectations of employment (i.e., what it means to have a job)
  • Be evaluated based on performance for future positions (rather than on interview and application alone)
  • Develop new skills and receive feedback from management

Qualifications: Participants must be 14 years of age by the start of the internship.
If you are interested in participating, please complete Wedgwood Internship Application Google Form by 6/27/24.
