Fall Yard Sale- September 30th 8am- 12noon (Fundraiser for the Swim & Dive teams) This is a great way to clear out some space, make some cash for the holidays, and support the teams! Set-up will begin at 6 am. The yard sale will open at 8 am and run until noon. We will be using the Five Oaks Pool parking lot closest to the street. Spaces will be approximately 20 feet x 17 feet (two parking spots). You will need to bring your own tables and/or chairs. Those will not be provided by the pool. As the pool grounds will be closed for the season, the bathrooms will only be open for those selling and trash cans will also NOT be available during the sale. All sellers must leave their space clean and free of debris when they leave.

Happy 1st day of school for most of our members!!!
In order for us to close on time with school back in session, we will be blowing the whistle to clear the pool at 7:45 pm. This will be done to ensure that the grounds will be closed down at the 8:00 pm closing time so that our staff does not need to be paid for additional time.
Thank you for your cooperation!

Also, please supervise your children in the bathrooms. Won't go into detail but we have had some issues. 🙁

And that’s a wrap on another Five Oaks Dive Team season. To say that I’m proud of these kids is an understatement.
They showed up to practice in June when the water was freezing and the air was cool 🥶, they showed up in the rain and waited out thunderstorms ⛈️, and they woke up early all summer to get on the boards before the pool opened😴.
They were rockstars. But more importantly, they were friends, had fun and were good to each other. We had such a great season and I hope the friendships formed last a lifetime. We also had quite a few divers finish in the top 10 for their age groups at championships yesterday and I couldn’t be prouder of the team!
