For those interested, it is possible to participate at each location. If you ve not heard of WATERBALL, it is a fun, easy game to enjoy, providing light exercise in the pool. In short, it is a more relaxed form of volleyball played in the lap pool using a beach ball and with simple, non-aggressive rules. Since it is pick up style, we only need to know who MAY be interested so we can provide updates and information. So please consider giving it a try - it s lots of fun! Please note that the lap pool will be closed for individual use during this time. If you have questions and wish to stay informed, please contact Sandra Reynolds.
