The Wedgwood Cake Bake! Saturday July 27th @ 7 PM

The Wedgwood Cake Bake: This Saturday evening down at the pool!

We have been hyping up the cake bake these past few weeks, but I am guessing some of you all are still wondering what it is all about. So here is a little more information about what it is and how it goes.

The Wedgwood Cake Bake is long standing tradition that is getting back up and running this year after a few years off. It is a great event with fun for the whole family. Siblings, friends and sometimes whole families work together to bake and decorate cakes according to a predetermined theme.

This year’s theme: Wedgwood Spirit

Once all the cakes have arrived, we will have a viewing period for everyone to admire the hard work that was put into the creative cake designs. Meanwhile the judges (our wonderful Wedgwood lifeguards) select the best designs in each grouping. Then, we serve the cake with ice cream and have an Almost Anything Goes (inflatables in the pool) until 9:00PM. 

Hope to see you there. It is going to be a blast!

Date: Saturday, July 27th
Cake Arrival time: 6:15 PM
Viewing and Judging: 7:00-7:30 PM
Serving and Eating: 7:30 PM
Almost Anything Goes: 7:00-9:00 PM

Here are some cakes of past themes to help get you dreaming big about the cakes you are going to bring!

Schedule Change July 5th

Hello Lap Swimmers and Aerobics goers I have another update for you all. This Friday, July 5th we are changing the schedule a little bit. Here is what I have for you:

No EMLS
Adult Lap Swim 11:00 AM – 1:00 PM
Water Aerobics 12:05 PM – 12:50 PM

This change in lap swim times gives us the opportunity to make needed adjustments to the pool chemistry which will reduce the likelihood of schedule adjustments for the rest of the summer.

Thank you for your understanding,
Mike

July 1st – What’s Happening At The Pool…

Hello swimmers,

Busy holiday week ahead of us. The weather looks nice and there are fun days ahead! But before we get to the holiday fun I have a few items I want to bring to your attention.

Double Down Diaper Policy
Accidents happen but let’s make sure we are doing all we can to keep them out of the pool. If your child is still in diapers please follow our double down diaper policy. These little swimmers must have on a diaper and a swim diaper with elastic leg and waist bands. We have signs posted in the lobby with examples. We also sell both diapers and reusable swim diapers if you forget them when you come down.

Reminder- Member Registration for Session 2
Member Registration for Session 2 of swim lessons will take place in person at WW pool on TUESDAY, July 2nd from 10-11am. If you are not able to come in person to register, you can call the pool to register: 206-523-8211. (The dates for Session 2 are July 8th-18th).

If your child is currently in lessons, they will receive a report card with a recommendation for the next level they should enroll in. The report cards will be available the morning of Tuesday, July 2nd, and you can pick them up in the lobby (they will be on the bulletin board in the lobby and are organized by teacher name).

Please contact our lesson coordinator with any questions- email wwlessoncoordinator@gmail.com or call (252) 228-4534

Wedgwood Water Polo!!
The best sport in the world will be back at Wedgwood in a few short days! Seasoned veterans and newcomers are welcome to come play. Coach Ruby and Mark will be ready to get you in for some action. Registration forms are posted in the lobby down at the pool. Take a look at the flyer below for more information about practice times and season ahead.

4th of July Floats and Root Beer Floats 1:00pm – 3:00pm
Come kick off your 4th of July festivities at the pool! From 1-3pm we will have Almost Anything Goes in the pool and will be serving root beer (and other sodas) floats on the top deck. Everyone had a blast at this celebration last year so we thought we would run it back again this year. ***There will be no lap swim from 1-3pm during the floats and floats celebration. But there will be an extra hour of EMLS 6-8AM and a bonus noon lap swim hour from 12-1PM***

Adult Swim Team Begins July 1st

11 & Up 8:00 AM – 9:00 AM
10 & Under 9:00 AM – 9:30 AM

Clancy The Pool Cat Remembrance
Wanted to take a moment to remember Wedgwood’s beloved four-legged feline friend, Clancy. Clancy passed away this week and will be deeply missed by the Wedgwood community, staff and his family. Clancy lived a full life as a near neighbor of the pool and was a constant presence around the grounds. You may remember seeing him stroll the decks and grass keeping all of us safe from our rodent residents or saw his ever helpful presence in the office with our lifeguards assisting them on their office tasks, or may have seen him out and about in the neighborhood. He was a friend to all who came to the pool and will be missed and remembered fondly. Keep Clancy in your thoughts as you come down to the pool. Here is to you Clancy!

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:
