Please remember to sign in at the desk. For those that are in swimming lessons there is an additional sign in sheet. Also, please remember to show up on time for the swim lessons. Make sure you go right to the swim instructors when it is your time. Thank you for your cooperation. If you do not know your swim time please email me.
If you are interested in swim lessons for your child, please fill out a survey and I will put him/her on a waiting list for the next session which starts on Jan. 20th. Swim lessons will entail a 7 consecutive week committment. Space is very limited.
We are looking at a December 22nd concert fundraiser to raise money to offer additional swim lessons and maybe sailing lessons in the summer. We are in need of suggestions, raffle prizes. volunteers and sponsors. Details will follow next week after I finalize them with Sayville Yacht club.

Wow what a turnout for our first swim. It was so nice seeing old friends and making new friends. I just want to thank everyone for their cooperation and patience. Especially, the volunteers, swim instructors, life guards, "Aunt" Barbara and the St. Joseph's staff. First days are always a little hectic. Please remember to sign in and out at the desk. We hope to have pictures to post soon. If anyone wants to share pictures please email them to me. I look forward to seeing you all at the next swim.
