Please have your parents drop you off at the CARI POOL @ UPEI NO LATER THAN 7:10 PM.
Please have your parents pick you up at the POOL NO LATER THAN 9:10 PM.

This does not cost registered members anything.

There are vending machines available to use after the swim however we do not provide money for these vending machines. Ask your parents nicely if they can give you some change. Otherwise you may want to bring a snack for after. :)

Christmas Float CANCELED

As we do not have enough leaders and members able to participate on the float we have decided to cancel the float.

I hope everyone still goes out to watch for Santa! :)
