Los Altos Pool: Albuquerque Pool Session is on
Wednesday night from 8:00-10:00pm.

Albuquerque boaters: Pool Session has resumed at Los Altos Pool on Wednesday nights from 8:00-10:00pm. The pool is located in the sports complex at Eubank and Lomas between the softball fields and the skate park.

There has been some discussion on ways to liven up the sessions and stimulate attendance including activities like kayak waterpolo and sponge tag. Please let Sara Traub know what you think of this or if you have any ideas.

The price for AWC/ACA members remains at $4. However, the price for non-members has increased to $10. FYI, the entire $10 goes to ACA for insurance. None of the money even goes to AWC to help cover the pool rental fee, just so you know.
