Moon shot! Come out from 2 to 4 pm on Sunday, Nov 11, 2018
First time was a success. Next time we need some masters swimmers, water polo players and triathletes. We’re going back to Moon for aquatic game play is Sunday, November 11, 2018. We’ll play SKWIM from 2 to 4 pm. However, the pool is open from noon to 2 pm for lap swim too.
SKWIM players at Moon on a Sunday afternoon. Next time, you can join us from 2-4 pm on Sunday, November 11. Tip: enter the back door.
Moon doesn’t have water polo goals, and they’re more interested in community programming, such as with SKWIM that allows for kids and adults with all ability levels. But water polo players would help matters greatly.
