Swim team information has been updated for the 2012 Roanoke Valley Aquatic Association Season (LINK)

It’s hard to believe but pool season is almost here. We would like to thank everyone for joining Forest Hills in the past because we realize that there are other pools available. Your support allows us to continue to upgrade the facilities and we look forward to your support this year.

In 2012, we are excited because the majority of our experienced staff is returning. Erik will be leading our pool staff with many of returning guards and some new ones. Most of the new guards you will know because they are Forest Hill members. We are pleased that everyone can return. An experienced and trained staff helps make Forest Hills the best pool around.

We will be continuing our activities to upgrade your pool facilities. We are committed to always improving the club each year. Your comments are an important part of this process, and we encourage your input. My email address is mlynch1423@aol.com. Forest Hills is your Swim Club and your suggestions are important.

Our swim team is hard at work planning and coordinating with the other pools and the Roanoke Valley Aquatic Association (RVAA) concerning swim meets, city/county championships as well as organizing for splash nights, ice cream parties and other fun-filled activities to make for a successful year. Swimming is the best sport for children and adults alike to come out and get some exercise. We want to encourage all members to come out and participate with our swim team. Erik Largen will be leading the finest coaching staff in the valley. Rebecca Muzzy will be managing our team. We need swimmers and your support to have a great swim team season. Everyone will be asked to help Rebecca with the volunteer positions to run the swim team. A handful of people can not do it all. If everyone will do a little then it is not a huge burden on a few people.

The pool will open May 26 and follow the Roanoke County School Schedule. The normal pool hours once school is out will be Monday through Saturday 11:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. and Sunday 1:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. The website and FACEBOOK will contain all the pool and swim team information as well as updates during the summer. The pool and the office number is 540-776-8501. As in the past, members will be asked to sign-in at the front desk when you enter.

Thank you for the past support. Remember the 2012 swim season is just around the corner, so make your plans to join the Club Now to receive your $30 discount.

Swim Team Information

The Forest Hills Swim Team offers great summer fun and activities for the entire family. We need both swimmers and helpers who can come out and join the fun. We want YOU to swim. We have swim meets on six consecutive Monday nights, beginning June 11th. The season ends with the RVAA City/County Championship Meet, July 27 and 28th at the Salem YMCA. During the season, we have ice cream socials, donut parties, potluck dinners, pizza parties, and more. Where else can you have all that fun and improve your swimming skills? ANYONE, age 5 to 100 years old, that can swim the length of the pool, is welcome!

Our coaches focus on making summer swimming FUN while mastering the strokes, starts and turns. Returning this year to coach the team are Erik Largen, Lindsey Matko, David Henderson, Jenny Kellenger. Caroline Preas and Nicole Podlecki. Anna Burton will be joining the staff for the upcoming season. They are already hard at work developing plans and activities for the upcoming season. We believe that our coaches are the best in the valley in running our program for swimmers of ALL ages. Rebecca Muzzy have agreed to manage the swim team and will be coordinating the swim team activities. Please help and volunteer to work the jobs and activities necessary to have a swim team.

Our swim team needs the support of all members to cheer them on and to help at the swim meets. There are lots of opportunities to be involved. There will be an informational and registration meeting at the Gator Aquatic Center on Sunday, May 12th at 2:00 pm. The team newsletter will be available at the meeting with dates of upcoming activities so you can plan to attend.
