Swim Around the Lake

It's almost time!! Fall is right around the corner and it's time to start thinking about swimming around Flathead Lake. Say What??? Okay, okay not really. You can complete a warmer version by counting laps in the Summit pool! Turn this challenge into a great six month workout.

The challenge starts October 1, 2012 and ends March 31, 2013. All challengers that complete the 80 miles will receive a really cool hooded sweatshirt.

You log your progress on a chart posted in the pool area. 1 mile = 72 pool lengths (36 laps). Swim 233 lengths (117 laps) per week to complete it in 6 months. For more information call 751-4161

Upcoming Closures

It's that time of year, it comes every year and no it's not for a month. All the pools will be closed the last week of August for our routine repairs and cleaning. The lap pool and spa will be closed Saturday August 25-Tuesday, September 4th. The therapy pool will close at 5:00pm Friday, August 24th and reopen Tuesday, September 4th.

Studio B will be closed Wednesday, August 29th and reopen Tuesday, September 4th. We will be completely refinishing the floor.

The entire Summit will be closed over the Labor Day weekend, September 1st, 2nd and 3rd. At that time we will be refinishing the Gym, Studio A and both racquetball court floors.

We really don't do this to inconvenience anyone, it is all part of the maintenance and upkeep of the facility. We have to do these things so that we can keep the Summit that we all love in tip top shape. Thanks so much for your understanding and get out and enjoy the outdoors for a few days.
