Hello ANCC Swim & Dive Team,
I hope each of you is staying healthy and finding new and creative ways to keep active and stimulated. These are unprecedented times at our club, within the country, and across the world. But together, we will get through the challenges. Our ANCC community is very special and I have been reminded of that often over the past few weeks. I, for one, look forward to getting back on the pool deck at both Arlington and Fairfax, enjoying another great aquatic season together.
Regarding pool operations, we will continue to get our pools ready at both Arlington and Fairfax and aquatics programs set up so that when the time comes, we will be ready. As we progress towards the start of another season, I will keep everyone informed of our status. Of course the club will continue to monitor and heed the guidance of our state and government officials and the CDC. I am also following the guidelines and recommendations circulated by USA Swimming which is keeping a pulse on activity across the country.
Additional Aquatic Updates:
1). Suit Sizing and Apparel Day - Once we have a new date confirmed for our annual event, information will be sent out to everyone. In the meantime, all apparel can be found on our swim and dive team site, SwimTopia.
2). Swim and Dive Team Registration - Registration is currently open. Please note that you will not see a charge for either of these programs until June at the earliest.
Please keep checking the ANCC website/Aquatics tab for additional updates about our program offerings and events at the pools. We will again be offering lessons, masters swim, and water aerobics for our members. To keep the juices flowing as we await the start of our aquatic season, below are a few resources you may find helpful. Our ANCC Fitness team has also shared several “virtual” workout options as well. If you are not receiving those updates, please make sure you have “opted in” to receive communications from fitness within your unique ANCC member profile.

I am very much looking forward to seeing our members back at the pools soon. Please stay safe, healthy, and know I am thinking about all of you. If I can be of assistance in any way, please let me know.
Be well,
