WELCOME CLASS of 2013 !

Our new freshmen are here! They’ve moved in, their rooms are in varying states of disarray, the posters and pictures from home are going up on the walls. College is the best! Some of our upperclassmen helped people move in this morning and have been making rounds meeting our new swimmers around the dorms.

Campus is abuzz. It’s a sight to see so many people on the threshold of a grand new experience. Another great year begins now!

Hot weather, new students, and strange pool sightings…

Today we had some drains upgraded in both the indoor and outdoor pools. Here’s a great shot of a man with a long respirator hose and a weight belt at the bottom of our estate pool.

It’s 97 degrees right now and I predict today will be the hottest day we have before next summer. Lee has been busy guarding the outdoor pool this week. Luckily his New Mexican heritage makes him a sun worshipper.

Many of our new freshmen arrived to campus this week for Breakaway trips (some of our swimmers are going rafting, sea kayaking, or camping in the Columbia River Gorge). And many more will be here next week for NSO (orientation). Campus is buzzing and I can’t wait to welcome all our new swimmers and everyone returning for another great year!

Pio is famous! (or his ancestor is, at least)

Check out this article on the top dog of the Lewis & Clark expedition. Our very own Pio lives on in his ancestor's image of Strength, Pride, and Endurance.
