Pool Saved! The Renton School
District recently announced that the Lindbergh Pool will
remain in operation for the 2010-2011 school year, thanks in
large part to hard work by community members and local
businesses who raised $15,000 to help bridge the gap to fund
pool operations.
Thank you to all our Chinook members and parents who took up
the cause and sent letters and emails, attended meetings,
spoke at meetings, had their car washed and donated proceeds
of sales to saving the pool.

Lystedt Law - All swimmers need to turn in
the concussion
parent/athlete form to their coach immediately.
The law was newly enacted in Washington State and deals with
concussion and brain injury in youth sports. It is a
state and PNS requirement that we have a copy on file of a
signed parent/athlete form for each of our athletes.
The
parent/athlete form must be signed by parent and athlete
in order for the athlete to participate in practice and
competition. Please turn the form in to your coach
ASAP. For more information, please click on the
CDC website.
