My plan is to return to state for senior year! I cannot wait to get back into the pool and to get back to swimming the way I love to swim - fast, and with everything I’ve got! After such a big break from competitive meets, my profile will be more updated soon once the season is underway. It has been one of the most rewarding experiences of the last four years. It’s hard to believe that my high school athletic career is almost over. I am hoping to continue with either soccer or swimming in college. After high school I want to become a physical therapist or school athletic trainer because over the years I've received help for injuries that has allowed me to continue to compete and I want to make sure other young people get the same opportunities. In the summer time I work as a head lifeguard at my local pool and teach swim lessons and in my spare time I love watching movies with my family, hanging out with my cat, and spending time with friends. I am also an honor roll student and was the class president during my sophomore and junior years. I was named Girls Varsity Captain junior year, and am excited to repeat that experience again as a senior. In the summer I try out other events and get my chances to improve my times there. I have won the 200 and 500 freestyle at several meets and placed well in others and I also swim the first leg of the 200 freestyle relay just so I can get a sprint in! I love the breaststroke and backstroke as well, but I am always happy to swim wherever my coach needs me. I have been swimming and playing soccer since I was little, and once I hit high school my coach decided to use the endurance that running up and down the field gives me and started putting me in distance events. I spent most of this summer rebuilding my strength and endurance and have been back on the soccer field this past fall so now I feel ready for anything! Hi there and thank you for looking at my profile today! It’s senior year! I am working on wrapping up my time at The Dalles High School in The Dalles, Oregon and it’s nonstop busy but I love it! The pandemic has basically put swimming on hold in Oregon, and I am beyond excited to get back into the pool following practice restrictions and a moderate concussion that canceled out most of my junior year season. Please email me directly at or text me at 54. Ensuring Swimming Pool Has Perfect Basic Walls. It does have a color - translucent pea green, which may be fine with those accustomed to lakes.NOTE: I do not have a paid NCSA Swim Profile and cannot access messages. One happy bather said she liked getting out of the water with neither the smell of chlorine nor lake water on her skin. Cold, open-air showers are on the deck, but there are no locker rooms. Only bottled water is allowed in the pool area.ĭon’t expect a cleansing shower after a dip. The only opportunity for refreshments Sunday was from the pizza truck parked on the street. Tree cover is virtually nonexistent so sunscreen is important. The on-deck facilities are similarly spartan: a handful of bolted down bus-stop style benches provide the only seating other than grassy ground. There are no bouncing springboards or twisting water slides.

The pool has additional areas of medium depth and a diving well with a faux wood diving platform that appears to resemble a lake raft. While the lap area has black lines on the bottom with crosses to signal proximity to the oncoming wall, there are none of the usual vertical lines on the walls, which makes the distance surprisingly difficult to judge for those used to flipturns.Ī walled-off kiddie pool and a shallow end both have zero-depth entries.

There’s a 25-yard, four-lane lap-swimming section with lane lines always set up to keep swimmers from veering into each other. The waters provide room to roam and offerings for all tastes and abilities. Its best feature is the price: It’s free, but open only Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Its not just sunshine and temperature that. Long before it opened, the pool got national attention for its chlorine-free natural filtration system and naturalistic design. There is nothing worse than anticipating a fun day at the beach or pool only to arrive to a rainy or cold day. The Webber Wave Pool system involves two types of water displacement: one to make waves, the other to make currents. Bathers kept it busy if not at capacity all weekend. Overdue and over budget, the pool finally opened last Friday.

The best preparation for a visit to the new north Minneapolis Webber Park pool is to think of it as an urban swimming hole.
