Sky Valley East Family Pool to
Aquatic Center Construction Project
There has been lots of progress this week. Please follow us through this exciting new project as we continue to grow and expand our aquatics programming over this next season and beyond.
Aquatic Center Updates

Swimming Lane Markers
Wondering what these markers on the wall are for? If you are a lap swimmer it is your target that helps you swim straight and not swim into the wall. By putting these markers on the wall it avoids having to have lines on the bottom of the pool and floating lane lines that need to be taken in and out of the pool.
Lines on the bottom of a pool are often slippery and can have an impact on waterball, water walking and water aerobics.
By not having to remove and replace floating lane lines we can quickly and efficiently transition from one aquatic activity of another.
Activities Calendar
All current activities are volunteer lead.
Please contact the activity lead with questions.

Please wear a mask and ask group leaders for the safety rules of your activity.
No outside players at this time

      How To Of The Week
      How to Create a Google Email Account

      This year we have gone to a paperless environment due to our current pandemic. This weekly newsletter is a fast and cost effective way to get information out into our communities. For anyone that has an email address and is comfortable using it this is very efficient and time sensitive.  
      Unfortunately for our residents that do not have email it is not including them in all of this information and great pictures from our resorts.
      I have included an easy video below on how to set up a gmail account.  If someone has a newer cell phone they can set up a free gmail account and access this newsletter through their phone.  
      Please help me with your friends and family living in our communities that would like to be able to see this newsletter.  Let's work together to get them set up with an email account. 
      And ... don't forget to please send me their new email address so I can add them to our list.
