April has featured less-than-ideal weather conditions. It’s been cold. It’s been rainy. And windy. It’s even snowed a few times.

In other words, it’s been a typical Rochester April.

And yet “summer” at the club began over three weeks ago, when the pool opened in high style with the Blue Whale/Blue Lips Pool Party. If you haven’t yet seen the photos from the event, you must check them out on our Facebook page.MORE

Yesterday, one of the club’s loyal lap swimmers posted to our Facebook page with a question about the pool opening.

I went right to the man in charge, Aquatics Director, Tim Auerhahn, to get the inside scoop on what we can expect.

Here’s what he had to say about what he and his staff are working on as they ready the beauty in the back of the club for swimmers.

Right now we’re patiently waiting for a little more ice to melt off of the cover so we can really begin to fill, heat, treat, and chemically balance the water (a process that can take two weeks). As of right now, we’re still anticipating opening on schedule.

Our hours of operation will be as follows: 

Effective April 1st

Morning Lap Swim, Monday-Friday, 6:30am-9:30am

Afternoon Lap Swim, Monday-Friday, 11:00am-1:00pm

Evening Lap Swim, Monday-Thursday, 5:00pm-7:00pm

Weekend Open Swim, Saturday and Sunday, 10:00am-2:00pm

Thanks, Tim!

Tim had a great idea to write daily updates on the opening of the pool to give members an insider’s perspective on what it takes to get a pool the size of the one at the club ready for the season. If you’ve “Liked” our Facebook page, you will receive these updates as Notes in your News Feed. If you haven’t “Liked” the club’s page yet, now is the perfect time.
