I told Steve and Sara the other day that we’d be coming down soon to start getting the pool ready for our guests. They didn’t seem to pay too much attention to me, though I did hear them grumble that “every year it’s the same thing - find a nice place to paddle around, and then we get thrown out.”

UPDATE: Sorry, but we didn’t get enough registrations to hold the clinic. We’d still love to have you swim with us on the swim team this summer - check back for details.
We’re springing forward and counting the days until summer!  With that comes the 2012 Spring Swim Clinic signups.  Click here for the registration form and contact information.  Join us to work on strokes and swimming efficiency, and tell your friends! Saturday, April 15th, and Sundays, April 21st & 28th, and May 5th, 12th, and 19th, at Midlothian Athletic Club (formerly Robious Racquet Club).

It’s time for us to sell mulch again, for the benefit of the Shady Acres Sharks Swim and Dive Teams. This is great quality, shredded hardwood mulch - delivered to your driveway on March 24th. We’re putting hangtags on doors in the neighborhoods near the pool, but we’re happy to deliver to anyone in the nearby area. We’ve been doing this for a few years now, and we’ve got it down pat. Call us at (804) 594-2517 to place your order - we’ll take your credit card over the phone, or arrange for you to mail payment to us. Even easier: click here to go to our mulch page, fill in the blanks, and we’ll call you back to arrange the details.

It’s great stuff - shredded, hardwood mulch - dark brown for $4.00 per bag, red for $4.50. Each bag is 2 cubic feet, so ten bags should cover 80 square feet at a 3-inch depth.

Happy mulching!
