Hello to all. It looks like the Greenbrier pool will allow us to continue our roll practice weekly. I’m not sure of the start date, but it will be Wednesday evenings from 6 to 8 PM, at a cost of $10 per person. They have treated us very well, and the pool is great for practice. Let me know if anyone is interested. I will post again when I am sure of the start date.

The next two weekends I’ll be out of town but count me in anytime after that. Just now home from the beginner whitewater clinic. It was great.

I heard through the grapevine that they are having some maintenance issues that may delay a memorial day opening. Stay tuned. Whenever they fully open, I will post and we can begin sessions.

The first roll practice session will be June 14 at 6 PM. The pool closes at 8pm. The cost is $10 per person, payable to the pool staff when you arrive. Please make sure that your equipment is clean.
If any newbies are planning to attend and need equipment, please let us know well in advance as many people have more than one boat that they frequently will loan to those in need. I hope to see some if you there.
Also, if you do plan to come, please post up so that we can make sure we don’t have too many. Too many people could interfere with the swimmers.
Bryan

OK guys. Let’s keep an eye on the weather for Wednesday. It doesn’t look too good. If it rains then we will cancel.

Guys, I just drove by the pool and they are not open. I am assuming this is because the weather has been sporadically bad all day. Based on this, I think we should probably cancel and try to pick it up next week. I will email the pool and tell them. Apologies for the late notice, but anytime we schedule these make it a habit of checking a couple of hours before you head to the pool.

Guys, I will be traveling on June 21 for work so I will not be able to attend the pool session. It will be open however if anyone wants to go. I should be able to resume sessions on the 28th. I apologize for any confusion. Serial killer

I hope to be there, and can provide limited help with the basics. If anyone else wishes to attend, that would be wonderful

Guys, the pool is available tonight, but unfortunately I am stuck in Philadelphia due to weather. They had bad weather all weekend and the flights are literally 2 to 3 days behind. I will not be back in Charleston until probably 1030 tonight. Apologies. Feel free to attend if you’d like but I won’t be there to help.

I am in Kanawha city right now and the weather keeps going back-and-forth between looking like it’s almost going to rain and then halfway decent. Right now it looks like I am the only person planning to come. If that is the case, I would likely not go. If anyone else is planning to go, hopefully you will see this and please post up in the next hour or so.

OK. I just heard thunder. That’s a no for me, and I suspect the pool will follow suit by closing. If the weather straightens up, I apologize and if anyone else wants to go, go ahead, but with the thunder and me being the only one to reply, I think I will pass.

Good news paddlers. I just talked to James and he and several other paddlers are probably going to make it. I’m still iffy, but I wanted to get this out there, so if Josh or anyone else planned to attend they would know that they would be good solid instructors there. I will try to be there, but if not, you guys have a great time. Once again, it is $10 payable directly to the pool staff when you arrive. It’s a great deal.

Josh, I just received notification from the pool that there is a private party there tonight. Apologies, but I will not be able to host us tonight. They offered another day, so if I can talk them into it I’m a post up an additional day to make up for it later this week.

I’m here at the pool. Right now it’s only me. I’m going to stick around for a half an hour and do some practice and then I will probably leave. Unless somebody else comes at which time I will stay longer.

Guys, I am out of town this week, but as far as I know, the pool will be available on August 2 for anyone interested. If in doubt, please call the pool to confirm if there are no swim meets or practice. Of course, everything is weather permitting.
