Dear Swimmers and Parents:

I hope you are enjoying summer.  Please see the update below from the Town website in regards to the Hillcrest pool.  I know this is discouraging and concerning. As Dr. Semmel and I learn more about the scope and timeline of the repairs, we will update you further.  In the meantime, I am working on a back-up plan in case the pool is not open for the start of the fall swim season.  Hopefully, repairs will begin shortly so we can get back in the pool.

Please feel free to contact me with questions.

Sincerely,

Mike King

07/20/21 Update: Hillcrest Pool Closed Until Further Notice

The Hillcrest pool is currently closed due to structural distress and damage in a number of areas within the underground mechanical room. In response to these issues, the Town has retained architectural services to identify the source of these problems. According to this initial report, the pool and mechanical room will remain closed until such time as a full and comprehensive structural analysis of the concrete walls, elevated deck, and gutters is complete.

The Town has requested a proposal from an aquatics consultant as well as from structural and electrical engineers to perform the full range of evaluations necessary to determine the scope of work for short-term stabilization of the structure and long-term repair to the pool and its related systems.

We will continue to provide the community with additional information as it becomes available.

THS BOYS GOLF UPDATE!

Tryouts will begin on Monday, August 16th from 12-2pm at Tashua Knolls Golf Course. There's still a possibility that the time will change based on course availability, but for now we start at 12pm.

What you can expect for that Monday is two hours of organized skills circuits, much like the start of our tryouts last spring. There will be four stations-- chipping, short putts, lag putts, and range work. You will spend roughly 20-25 minutes at each station.

Both Tuesday and Wednesday will consist of 9-hole play on the front nine of the Knolls. We will follow USGA rules and will play the ball down. You will track not only your score, but also fairways and greens hit in regulation along with your putt count per hole. Timing and further details regarding Tuesday and Wednesday is TBD.

There are several players who expressed interest in the golf team, but who have not accepted the Classroom invite. If you know of anyone who wants to try out this fall who might not receive this announcement, please share it!

If you have any questions for me at this time, please reach out via email or call/text at (203) 918-8001. 

Thank you!
