Trick or Treat At The Vilas Zoo

What a beautiful day for Halloween fun at the Henry Vilas Zoo! It was fun to see everyone dressed up in costume and enjoying the animals! A big thanks to Todd for being our Tigger!

Swim West Olympics & Pool Party!

Chicago may have lost out, but we haven't! We are so excited to be getting ready for our Swim West Olympics! On November 1st, all Swim West students are invited to show us their best, demonstrating what they've learned in class, during our own Olympic Swim Meet, where every swimmer in a winner! Ally is ready and signed up. Are you?

We'll also have a family fun, Halloween themed, pool party after the swim meet. Some of the fun includes, pumpkin painting, a scavenger hunt, a crazy maze and a not too spooky, haunted forest! A picnic lunch will be available for only $2.00 a person.

We're also hoping you'll join us in supporting the Middleton Outreach Ministry. Bring two non perishable food items per person, and admission to our Halloween Pool Party is on us!

So don't put away that Halloween costume after the 31st. Wear it to Swim West on November 1st, noon to 5:00pm, and join us for a memorable afternoon of family fun!

Above and Beyond The Call!

Thank you to our wonderful families for taking the time to share feedback with our staff! We've received some heartfelt reviews on our efforts to bring you the best swimming experience, and we really appreciate knowing how we're doing! Here's a sample of how our staff has been working "Above and Beyond The Call."

Joel - "Awesome! Joel is great with our daughter! She's very shy with male teachers but LOVES Joel! He's patient, very good at teaching and gets her to do things she normally is hesitant to do! Thank you!"

Nicole - "Nicole does a great job of keeping the girls focused on learning while still having lots of fun. Our girls have made huge strides this session."

Jake - "Jake does a great job of keeping a hard work-out while being silly with the boys. Thanks so much!"

Stef - "Thank you so much for being so nice and helping our daughter! You are great! We are always happy to leave our daughter in the water with Stef. We love having her for our teacher!"

Dawn - "Dawn helped to schedule make up classes for not one, but two kids simultaneously. She had to look through multiple timings on multiply days patiently to make it work. Thank you so much!
