Dear Oaklyn Swim Club Members,
Last night, April 29th, was a meeting to discuss
the possible opening of the Oaklyn Swim Club this summer. The Mayor is working on possible grants and
other avenues for future years to make the pool viable again not only for the
members but as a benefit for the entire town.
Our concern is this coming season and our community going elsewhere to
swim. Having the club close its doors
is a great loss for all in the community, regardless whether you are a member
or not. It is also a loss for the
surrounding communities that come to our town for the swim club!
With that in mind, there is a possibility that together we
can make this season happen. There is a
final meeting Thursday, May 9th to determine the interest in the
swim club opening, It is crucial that you attend the meeting on
May 9th if you want the swim club to open. There is a 165 room capacity in the Court
room upstairs (where the meeting will be held)…and we need Swim club members
from Oaklyn and surrounding towns to come and express how important the swim
club is to their family. We need to
reach capacity so if you are wondering if you, 1 person, will make the difference coming out, yes it
matters…please attend!!
Please come out Thursday, May 9th, 7pm in the
court room (upstairs in the borough hall, 2nd floor) to discuss this
coming season at the Oaklyn Swim Club!

Will there be a Swim Team? I think there are some families that will be looking for a pool that also offers a swim team for their children. If they want a swim team, you may loose many to a pool that offers one.
