September Newsletter

Welcome to September at Verona Aquatics!

The days are getting a little shorter, the school year is back in full swing, and our pools are buzzing with activity. Whether you're here for a workout, swim lessons, a meet, or simply some time in the water, we're glad you're part of the Verona Aquatics community!

As always, please check the aquatics calendar and pool schedule before heading our way. With school activities and special events filling the calendar, there may be a few changes to our regular schedule.

Fall is a busy time around the Aquatic Center and Natatorium!

Upcoming events:

• September 16: VAHS Dive Meet
• September 25: VAHS Dual Meet vs. Madison West
• September 26: JV Invitational
• September 27: Fall Swimming Lessons Begin
• October 2: VAHS Homecoming Parade
• October 3: VAHS Homecoming Dance
• October 9: VAHS Dual Meet vs. Madison East

These events may affect pool availability, parking, or our regular schedule, so please check the calendar before you swim. A little advance planning can save you a trip—and we like happy swimmers!

More Morning Lap Swim!

Looking for a little more time in the pool? We’ve added morning lap swim on Tuesdays and Thursdays! Starting your day with a few laps sounds like a pretty great way to wake up.

You’ll find 1 lap lane from 6:00–7:00 a.m. and 4 lap lanes from 7:00–8:00 a.m. on both Tuesdays and Thursdays. So grab your suit, goggles, and coffee-to-go and come get your swim on! We’re excited to offer a few more opportunities for our community to get in the water.

A Couple of Water Exercise Reminders

• Pool Charge Reminder: If you are taking more than one water exercise class and/or participating in Open Swim for more than 15 minutes before or after your class, there is a charge for each activity. Please let the front desk know if you are participating in both activities.
• Aqua Moves: On Aqua Moves days, the main entrance doors will open on or after 2:15 PM. Our staff needs a little time to get everything ready before welcoming everyone in. Thank you for your patience!

Membership & Program Registration

In-person registration is available Monday–Friday, from opening to closing during weekday business hours.

Early Morning Swimmers

For our early birds: doors will open at 5:50 AM every morning to make sure our staff is ready to check everyone in and get the facility ready for the day.

Locker Room Policy

Please exit the locker rooms within 15 minutes after your swim. This helps keep transitions smooth and allows everyone to enjoy the facility comfortably.

This applies to all swim times. Thank you for helping us keep things moving!

Sharing Lanes

When there are more than two swimmers in a lap lane, please circle swim. Sharing the lane helps make sure everyone has a fair opportunity to get their laps in.

Thank you for being considerate of your fellow swimmers!

Thank you for being part of what makes Verona Aquatics such a special place. We appreciate your patience when schedules get busy, your flexibility when events change our routines, and most importantly, the kindness you show to our staff and to one another.

We are proud to serve this community and are excited for everything the fall season has in store.

See you at the pool!
