This is the BIG One, Folks!

Our neighbors at the Recreation Center are in for a busy week beginning Wednesday, August 2nd through Sunday, August 6th for the annual Central Zone Swimming Championships. Did you know that they host some of the state's largest meets because of the Olympic pool? Not only is the pool a great amenity for our Members and the community, the revenue these large meets bring to local Rochester businesses is so beneficial! With more people of course comes more cars, and you may notice that the parking lot is much fuller than usual this weekend. Here's what you need to know:

Pool access: The Warm Water Pool will be available for regularly scheduled use through Wednesday, August 2nd. BOTH pools and the gymnasium will be closed to 125 LIVE Thursday-Sunday.
Parking: The lower level parking lot will be reserved for 125 LIVE Members and guests only. Upon arrival, a parking attendant will provide you with a permit. Anyone parked in the lower level parking lot without a permit will be subject to tow.
Lower Level Entrance: Normally, the Lower Level Entrance remains locked during the weekend, however doors will be open during normal Social center hours all weekend.
Fun Stuff: Mama Meg's Parlour will serving up their famous ice cream sandwiches and root beer floats right outside of 125 LIVE on select days during the swim meet. Stop by to enjoy a favorite summer time treat!

All other amenities and activities will be offered as regularly scheduled.
