NO CHARGE to KMSC members. Nonmembers will be charged $5 at each class.
Our instructor will be Miriam Lasar, who lives in the neighborhood and has taught fitness classes at the University of Maryland at College Park, the Fitness First and Washington Sports Club in Bethesda, the Jewish Community Center, Kemp Mill Women's Fitness, and other venues.
If you haven't already told our membership director, Amie Wohlfarth, on Facebook that you're coming -- just show up tonight.
Amie says there will be a sign-in sheet for everyone at the front desk.
Nonmembers will be asked to pay at that time, she says. But any nonmembers who join the pool, will have their water aerobics payments refunded!
Coming Up Fast: Fourth of July at the Pool
If you're interested in helping out with the games, please contact our socials director, Sherri Spritzer, at sherri.spritzer@verizon.com. We need parents to help with the crafts and folks poolside to help with the races.
Maybe you could help her organize a cornhole competition too!
The grill will be hot and we'll be selling kosher and non-kosher ice cream treats for $2.00 while they last.
The pool will close at 6 p.m. so that we can all go watch the fireworks.
Our First Ladies Night Proves a Success
Fourteen members and one guest enjoyed a quiet evening at the pool Thursday for our first Ladies Night.
Yummy appetizers, salads and desserts were shared amid much laughter and an occasional lap across the pool. (Photos left and below.)
Linda Bryson won the rose bouquet door prize!
We still need someone to host the next Ladies Night set for Tuesday, July 17th, 7-10 p.m. lease get in touch with our socials director at Sherri.Spritzer@verizon.net if that person can be YOU.
Hostesses receive two guest passes as our thank you for organizing the evening's fun.
Hold Your Party at the Pool This Summer!
You'll be able to reserve the picnic tables on our green and the grill. Makes for a great place to hold birthday and graduation parties. Just ask the Siessers, who have two June birthdays they can celebrate poolside (see photos below).
Pizza Night Volunteers Needed
Rain clouds chased away our first Pizza Night at the Pool, so we're going to try again Sunday (6/23) from 5-7 p.m.!
The pizza will come from Ben Yehuda's and be available for purchase by the slice or by the pizza while it lasts IF it's not supposed to be raining.
You'll be able to purchase your pizza right on the pool deck for $3 slice, $5 for two slices and $20 for an entire pie, cash or credit (a transaction fee will apply for the latter).
Soft drinks also will be available to purchase.
We still need folks to help pick up and sell pizzas at these events! Please click on this SignUp Genius to volunteer: Pizza Night at the Pool 2018
'Roo Fundraiser
Just mention the Kemp Mill Swim Team as you order and a percentage of your payment will go to the team! You can place your order by phone at 301-649-5466 or online at Holy Chow!
The swimmers would love to see more pool members cheering them on at their meets!
You can catch them in action TODAY (Sunday, 6/24) at the division's rollicking fun Relay Carnival, which will be held in the morning at the West Hillandale Pool, 915 Schindler Dr, Silver Spring!
Or you can see them in action tomorrow (Monday, 6/25) at the Tanglewood Pool, 2922 Schubert Dr, Silver Spring.

Mystery Swimmer:
John Livengood wrote, saying he thought the mystery swimmer enjoying our water slide in the 6/4 - 6/10 issue was Zinnia Rozsics. Did he get it right?
Who are some of the lounging dads we've been featuring? Let us know!
