Scenes from the pool this morning. Stay safe out there! Brrrr

Update as of September 11, 2022 @ 7 a.m.

We will open for normal operations at 8 a.m. and will continue to monitor the air quality throughout the day.

Members,

We have closed the Pool for the remainder of the day (Saturday, September 10) due to poor air quality.

Hope to see you tomorrow for the final day of the Summer season.

So fun we were able to squeeze Floaty Friday in this summer!!

It is with a heavy heart that we inform the View Ridge Swim and Tennis Club members that former manager, Peter Klein, passed away in his sleep on Friday, July 22.

Peter was a swim coach at View Ridge in 1962 and then returned as the manager from 1989-2014. Peter was a devoted educator during the school year and during the summers was a "Pool Guy" who was most satisfied when the pool water was crystal clear and the deck was hosed.

For those of us who worked and knew him over the years we will always miss his great sense of humor, love for teaching, and fun stories. He did so much behind the scenes that many didn't know about. We continue to be reminded even after he left the pool many years ago. He will be missed.

Peter is survived by his wife Karen and their son Cameron. Flowers were sent to his family from the View Ridge Swim and Tennis Club community.

There is a memorial set for October 8 from 2 - 5 p.m. at the Ballard Elks Club. Here's the link to his obituary, which ran in to the Seattle Times this past weekend: https://obituaries.seattletimes.com/obituary/peter-klein-1085948689

Remembering the life of Peter Klein 1948 - 2022 Peter Klein passed away 2022-7-22 in This is the full obituary story where you can express condolences and share memories. Services by Evergreen-Washelli Funeral Home.

Yay for bringing back the overnight for our 8-12 year old members! Floaties, a talent show, extended snack shack hours, love letters, no sleep and more!

Before and after pics of our staff who loved being there as much as the kids!

Exciting morning at the pool! This tree fell over sometime during the 5 a.m. GLAD workout on NE 77th. Just missed the Burke. City crews are on their way to clear it. Stay safe out there, friends!

And that's a wrap on Summer 2021 at the Pool. Last one in the pool awarded to Nick Archer! Stay safe and healthy, friends!

More hardware! Congratulations to our 2021 18u coed GSSSL water polo champions!!

Congratulations to our 18u girls who were crowned 2021 GSSSL All City Water Polo Champions!

Enjoy!

We are opening at 1 p.m. We will update as needed.

Stay safe.

Update as of August 13, 2021 9:41 a.m.

Hello All,

I am currently monitoring the air quality on the site AirNow, and plan to update the facilities status at 11 a.m. We will continue to use 150 on the index to determine if we will operate. I will then continue to update at 2 p.m. and 5 p.m. If necessary at 8pm for Saturdays activities. Why do we choose 150? This is the beginning of unhealthy for all and we will not ask our staff to work in a unhealthy environment. Check the YourCourts main page header for a quick update, our website at vrstc.org, and this page.

We are hoping to see you at our activities today if we are open:

Open swim 1 p.m.

Floaty Friday 5 p.m. - 7 p.m.

Food Truck 5 p.m. - 7:30 p.m.

Tennis Doubles Tournament

Stay Safe,
Mr. G

August 12, 2021 - 5:36 p.m.
