Here are the results you’ve all been waiting for- LAKESHORE 567 points vs CAVIP 477 points! It was great to hear all the loud cheers and to see so many smiling faces around the pool last night! Thank you to all swimmers, volunteers, lifeguards, families and friends who came out last night to support the team!!

We are midway through Wednesday summer meets. Next week (July 27) we’re at HOME swimming against Beaurepaire- we will need 8 to 10 more volunteers for this meet. Several Lakeshore families will be travelling to Calgary next week for Junior Nationals- Best wishes to all swimmers competing in this BIG event! The following week (Aug 3), we’ll be AWAY at Valois and will need about 10 to 12 for this one. The final Weds night meet will be at HOME vs Windermere- we’ll need about 16 more volunteers. Lastly, Lakeshore will be hosting SECTION FINALS on Saturday August 13, 2016! Stay tuned for more information!

Again, Congratulations to Lakeshore swimmers and thank you to all volunteers who have helped out at the swim meets this summer – we couldn’t do all of this without you!!

Pool Maintenance Provided by Sodem

by

Starting in 2015, the City of Pointe-Claire hired a third party company (Sodem) to oversee maintenance (chemical, cleaning, mechanical) of the pools. For this reason, our guards are no longer responsible for issues regarding water clarity, chemistry, pump issues, pool water level or water temperature (if the pool is leaking too much). However, if the pool is unsafe for bathing, the guards are required to shut down the pool for everyone’s safety and health until the City can re-establish the pool water safety level. For any complaints in regards to pool water, please call the city directly at 514-630-1200 as our guards are doing the very best they can.
Thank you.
