Okay, so who's up for round 2?  I'm up for either Saturday afternoon or Sunday morning.

My preference would be Sunday.  Adrian?

I will bring a camera for videotaping (no, not for cute poolside shots to make into BT banners).

I talked to the manager about the whole guest policy issue.  I have now been straightened out.  The deal is that a member can bring any one person, once every 6 months.   Normally the standard guest pass would be $15 and that's the baseline rule.   BUT, if you are nice and call ahead and explain the situation (i.e. I want to bring a friend to help in the pool), they will allow it for free.  You can also explain that they don't need a club tour, etc, if that's the case.

HOWEVER, this is also the same outcome as if the person printed the guest pass from the internet.  So, if someone wanted to join us but didn't plan something in advance with a member, you can just print a pass and come on over.  When you check in at the desk I would say "I don't need a tour, I am actually meeting some friends and they are going to show me around."

The paid guest privileges membership is actually appealing.   For a $30 signup fee, and an extra $20 a month, you can bring 2 guests with you for free every time you come.  There are no limits to how often a person came with you.  The only restrictions are the guest must be over 14 and they have to come with you.  This would be a great deal for a couple or roommates who always worked out together.     I have enough friends only mildly interested in the gym, but not enough to sign up, that I might just add this and start inviting people.  It's so cheap!

Sorry we'll miss you, Splashy!

Eric - how about Sunday.  Do you have any preference on time?

Anyone else want to come?  You can print a guest pass here: https://www.lafitness.com/Pages/clubhome.aspx?clubid=516&clubStatusID=1.  

You can just come on your own, but if you'd like to meet by the front desk let me know.

A 10am or 11am start would work best for me, but I'm flexible.

For those of you who are reading this and are on the fence - last week was a low-key affair.  We talked about form, went over a few drills, and did some repeats.  It was nice to have a 2nd (and 3rd and 4th) set of eyes to critique my form and to show me where and how to make improvements.  Good stuff.

Good, let's go with 10:00 on Sunday.

 

Nice thing about swimming in a pool is that relative pace doesn't matter!   You can be more or less involved.  I am just happy to have  a "reason" to go to the pool, otherwise I'd easily skip it.

I will also be at Church from 10-11

Thanks for the research on the guest passes Emily.  The next time the group meets on Saturday or Sunday after 11 I will be there for sure!

Eric S. and Kyle - if we met in the early afternoon, say 1 or 2, would that work?  Let me know and Eric (Farlig) and I are open to the switch.

Afternoon is a distinct possibility!  Need to find out the family plan for Sunday before I can be sure.  Never know what I may be scheduled for...

Dude, your family is taking up way too much of your free time.  You need to work on that

Sorry we'll miss you!
