New Coburg Olympic Pool t-shirt!

Hi there local pool lovers


I am going to print t shirts with a new Coburg Olympic Pool design above on them on Tuesday (11/02).
They will be available to buy from Friends of Coburg Olympic Pool at Ride To Pool Day, Sunday 16th Feb, at the pool, for $15.00 each.
But, if people have their own plain white or black cotton tops that they would like printed on they can contact me karenlokerse@hotmail.com to get my address and leave them on my front porch.
I will need to have them by Tuesday 7.30 am (as weather forecast so far predicts not too hot to print on that day..)
As we do this as a fund raiser for Ride to Pool Day to pay for the bands etc, it will cost $5.00
to print the design on your t shirt. Please write your name in the tag and also pin your name and contact details (and $ in an envelope) to the t shirt so that you can get them back when done. We also have a way to invoice you using Paypal but you would still need to get the t-shirts to me by Tuesday morning.
Thanks
Karen

Coburg Olympic Swimming Pool Survey

Coburg Olympic Swimming Pool have launched a survey about our pool on their Facebook page. It's a chance for pool users to voice their opinions about what they like and don't like about our wonderful local pool. I also couldn't help adding a comment to the actual Facebook post. I've had some issues with opening hours and the promotion of opening hours over the last week or so and although I hope that these issues may have been resolved, I don't think it hurts to stress what is important to you.

2013 Ride to Pool day

Congratulations and thank you to all involved in the fantastic 5th Coburg Olympic Ride to Pool Day! Thank you Naz, Brad and staff for organising and running such a brilliant day so smoothly. The day was greatly enjoyed by all and the atmosphere was wonderful. It was very hot and the big pool was jam packed with children. Thanks to all Active Moreland staff for exemplary managing and life guarding all day.


The Pool Inflatable was a great hit as was the face painting and jumping castle. There was also the much loved sausage sizzle and a great new addition, the coffee cart. FCOP's "I love Coburg Olympic Pool T-Shirts" were a hit. As was the clock history display - great idea. The live music was perfect! Thank you to all involved in securing grants and fundraising so that we could continue the fine tradition of live music by the pool. The Shambelles were a high energy girl band donned in swim suits and white sunnies. The Short Order Schefs were cruisy, perfectly blending pool and lounge music. The Newlands Children's Choir were gorgeous and led by music teacher Jane and her guest violinist. Moreland FREEZER - thankyou Sal and all for the DJ, great sound and stage management!

Bike parking was also very well utilised and it was great to be a Bike Satellite Event and having our event as part of the Bike festival has alerted lots of post code 3000s to the pool. The newly fixed and re-installed Lions Clock was working a treat too! Thanks to Active Moreland who helped facilitate that.

What a great day at the pool!
