Who Dropped The Ball?

It seems Maui did. As you all undoubtedly know by now there is a major gas leak and services, industries etc that require gas aren't operating. The boilers that heat swimming pools use gas and so the swimming pools, including LEP and Pakuranga College pool are now cold. We can't be 100% certain and will do our best to keep you informed but the chances of training going ahead on Sunday and Monday are..let me see...getting my calculator...plus 5....minus 4...divided by seven...x 2...minus 3...yes I think that's right...................zero.

BUT, there is GOOD NEWS. Of course there is. The good news is that the ocean is open. There is a small group honing their open water swimming skills at Little Bucks on Saturdays. Feel free to join in. They don't even charge. Wow, something for nothing, whoda thought? The time depends on the tide as swimming is on high tide, with alternate weeks being at 10am and 4pm. This week the high tide will be at 10am, or thereabouts. Show up at 10am if you are taking part. Swimming is from the beach to the bollards and back which is about 1km and you can do as many laps as you wish to customise your distance to suit. At this time of year the water is around 16 degrees so a wetsuit is advisable.

We'll keep you informed as things start hotting up. Worst pun ever.
