REMINDER - TEMPORARY PRACTICE SCHEDULE

Kenneth O'Reilly

REMINDER OF UPCOMING SCHEDULE.

Dear Scarlet-Wave Parents,

It seems I was misinformed and I believed the new pool heater at Bergen Community would be installed this week.  It turns out, that is not the case and the Bergen Community Pool will not be ready until 1/7/26 after the New Year.

Please see the latest update below from an email I was forwarded from the athletic director:

Good afternoon, Erin. A new boiler has been ordered with an ETA of 4 weeks. As soon as we get it we will install it. We're looking around as of January 7th. If anything changes, I'll keep you updated. 
 
PLEASE UNDERSTAND THAT WE ARE DOING OUR BEST TO MANAGE THIS SITUATION AND CONTINUE TO RUN A FULL SCHEDULE FOR OUR MEMBERSHIP WHILE TRYING TO PROVIDE THE BEST SERVICE WE CAN.  WE KNOW THIS SCHEDULE IS AN INCONVENIENCE FOR SOME OF OUR MEMBERSHIP AND WE'RE HOPING TO RETURN TO A NORMAL PRACTICE SCHEDULE ASAP.

See Schedules below.

Sincerely,

Coach Ken
