From the Organizer
Pocahontas Swim Club is celebrating their 67th year of summer fun! As many of you have heard we have undertaken a major renovation project to revitalize the pool. This summer you will be able to enjoy the pool with a brand-new micro glass coating and tiled lane lines. This capstone project will serve us for decades to come. We are hosting our second annual 5k Run/ Walk , and kids 1 mile Run on 6/28 to show off our beautiful new pool and to help raise money for this project. This is a community event, and we are welcoming all participants from the race to enjoy the pool for the day. Each race participant will receive a pass for 6/28 to enjoy our beautiful new pool. Already a member? Use your pass to bring a guest for the day! We look forward to celebrating with you and thank you for your support!
