PRNS IS PROUD TO ANNOUNCE THE RE-OPENING OF THE CAMDEN POOL

Through collaboration with the Department of Parks, Recreation and Neighborhood Services and Los Gatos-Saratoga Recreation, a new agreement has been reached to operate the Camden Community Center Pool beginning October 2011 through spring 2012.  This agreement addresses the gap in aquatic services due to recent budget impacts which would have resulted in the closure of the pool during the winter and spring seasons. LGS Recreation will operate Lap Swim, Swim Lessons, Water Aerobics, Water Yoga and Swim Team programs. The pool will reopen with a family-fun event on Saturday, October 1, 2011 at 8:00 p.m. featuring the premier of a Dive-In Movie entitled “Shark Tale”.  The Camden Community Center pool is located at 3369 Union Avenue San Jose 95124.  For more information, please contact Jessica Revino at LGS Recreation (408) 354-8700 or visit www.lgsrecreation.org.
