If history is a good indicator, April 1st in Rochester will be chilly.

The average high temperature for an April day in our fair city is around 55 degrees. The average low is 35 degrees.

But the water in the Midtown pool will be a warm and inviting 80 degrees, and the energy on the pool deck will be even hotter because there’s an awesome party planned for opening day.

First, a little perspective. I know of no other outdoor pool in the area that’s ever opened for the season this early in the year.

This makes the fact that our pool is opening pretty incredible.

Aquatics Director Tim Auerhahn is working tirelessly to get the pool ready for the big day. In fact, he’s chronicling his efforts every few days on our Facebook page.

On April 1st, there might be snow on the ground and icicles hanging from the roof of the Adirondack Lodge.

But the pool will be open for swimming regardless, and of course, there’s going to be a  party to celebrate.

Free for members and guests, the big party to kick off the swimming season will feature a signature drink – the Blue Whale, of course – beer, wine, and light appetizers.

Everyone that’s brave enough to get in the water is entered into a drawing to win the Grand Prize:  a two-night stay at the Del Monte Lodge.   

Other great prizes will be raffled off as well.

Non-member guests are more than welcome at the party. In fact, if you bring a guest, you’ll receive an extra entry into the Grand Prize drawing.

And if you post a message on our Facebook wall telling us you’re attending the Blue Whale/Blue Lips Splash Party, you’ll receive another entry!

On April 1st, it may not look like this

But the warmer weather is coming soon, and I can’t wait to spend the summer by the pool.

Are you coming to the party?
