Conference moira::naturism

    Any interest in getting a group together and attending one or more
    of the winter swims?  It seems like our friends in Colorado are
    doing all the socializing, and we in the populous Northeast are
    just talking!  ;^)  Here's a good chance for us to meet and enjoy
    a break from winter's bite.
    
    I'm sure there are enough NENA members in our group to ensure access
    for non-members (guests).  I have sent in my application to NENA,
    and am still awaiting a response.  But I'll take the action item
    of contacting NENA directors to find out what the requirements,
    fees, etc. are.
    
    Shall we start with the swim on Nov. 19?  Please respond here, or
    write me on SALEM::JWILSON.  (Or Jack Wilson @NIO if you prefer.)
    
    Looking forward to seeing you all (No double entendre intended!)
    
    Jack

    Sounds like an interesting idea...though I can't make it on November
    19.  I've been thinking about joining NENA, but I'm not sure what
    it gets me that the Naturist Society doesn't already provide.
    
    Ben

    Looks like there won't be a Naturism Notes group this time.  I had
    a fair number of responses saying that they were interested in some
    of the swims, but that they already had plans for the 19th.  I'll
    still be going, so if anyone decides at the last minute, you may
    still contact me.
    
    BTW, the swims will be held in Fall River, so car-pooling would
    be a definite plus!
    
    Look forward to getting together in the future months,
    
    Jack

    I went to the NENA swim on Saturday night.  There were about 50
    people there, about 2/3 of whom were male.  There was one family
    group that included a boy of about 4, and another about 10.  Apart
    from that, the ages ranged from early 20's to 70+.  The people were
    very congenial, although many seemed to be with their own group,
    and little intermixing seemed to occur.
    
    The pool was privately owned, and was somewhat small for the number
    present.  The water was quite warm, and very pleasant (clean, with
    not Too much chlorine).  It had a deep end (9'?) where there was
    a springboard.  It was really too crowded for very much diving,
    however.  The hot tub was not in operation Saturday, but the owner
    said it will be available next month.
    
    There was an incident with an unfriendly neighbor, wcich was resolved
    without major incident.  Many of us parked on the wrong side of
    a parking lot (the neighbor's side), and he called tow trucks to
    get us out.  Before they started towing, the offenders moved the
    cars off of his property.  The neighbor later called the police
    about the party.  A police sergeant investigated, found that we
    were a quiet group (without coming into the pool area), saw that
    there was no way one could determine we were nude from the outside
    (what windows were present were all steamed over from the heated
    water), and left the group with no further incident.
    
    The people were very mellow, and I did not see any example of rude
    behavior.  People brought beer and wine (in addition to snacks),
    but noone appeared to be drinking excessively.
    
    All in all, it was a very pleasant experience.  I wish it were closer
    to Nashua, but it only took me about 90 minutes to get there.  I
    look forward to future swims, and to having others in this conference
    join me.
    
    Jack

    It'd be interesting to go to one of these NENA swims and meet
    some of the people whom we only know by their ENET address.

Saturday, Dec. 17, there will be a NENA CO swim held in New Bedford, MA, 
from 8:00 P.M. to midnight+.  I enjoyed the last one I attended, but due 
to a previous commitment, will not be attending this month's swim.  
There is a group of Naturist noters who have expressed an interest, 
however.  (About 6 people, 3 men and 3 women.)  One of those women, 
has agreed to organize a car pool.  As she is a Read-only Noter, 
please contact me regarding meeting place, time, etc. if you are 
interested in attending this swim.
                                                     
If you are interested in attending, but do not wish to car pool, please 
contact me for directions.                           
                                                     
Hope you enjoy the swim!  Look forward to joining you on January 21 
(same location, same time).

Enjoy your holidays,

Jack

Did anyone attend Saturday's NENA swim?  How was it?

If I am in the Boston area on the 19th of January, I would like to attend 
the swim.  Anyone out there that is a NENA member willing to take a friend 
along? :-)

Judy

    Hi, Judy,
    
    I didn't go this past Saturday, but will be going on the 19th. 
    I hope to have Some kind of a group, and would Love to have you
    join us!  But when I get out to God's Country, I expect you to
    reciprocate!  ;^)
    
    Looking forward to meeting you, and our other Colorado and West
    Coast friends.  And of course our friends from up north, etc. etc.
                                                                      
    Jack                                                              
                                                                      

Jack,  I don't know where I came up with the 19th!  The 21st is the third 
weekend of January!  Must have been looking at 1988...nope that doesn't
check out either.  Hmmm....

Travel is on again, off again around here.  My boss says I will be going,
we just don't have a solid timeframe yet.  I will keep everyone informed.
And hopefully, it will be around the time of the swim!  I'd like to meet
people that I've 'talked' with in this notefile.

Judy

    Judy - Regardless of the date, I look forward to meeting you, and
    hope you will be in the area on the 21st.  And being 1/16 Mohawk,
    and knowing very little about my Native American heritage, I'm hoping
    you can expand my knowledge in that area.
    
    To you and all the Naturism noters, have a Great Christmas, and
    a very happy and *safe* New Years!
    
    Jack

Well, I'm bummed.  My trip has been postponed to a later date.  Gosh!  I
was really looking forward to meeting my note-friends at the swim.  Oh,
well.  Hopefully, I will be out sometime around the time of one of the swims.
Otherwise, let's plan on Moonstone or someplace else that is appropriate.

Judy

    I'm sorry too, Judy.  I know I, for one, would have enjoyed meeting
    you.  Another time...
    
    But for those who Will be in the greater Boston area on Jan. 21,
    there *Will Be* a Naturism Noters contingency at the NENA swim.
    I will be leaving Nashua, NH at about 7:00, and will be happy to
    stop off en route (say, Marlboro?) and meet other noters who wish
    to car pool.  If anyone who has not already contacted me wishes
    to join us, please send me mail (SALEM::JWILSON, or Jack Wilson
    @NIO).  If you prefer to go by yourself, and need directions, please
    send me mail to that extent, also.
    
    Now that the holidays are over, we can use a little reprieve from
    winter's blahs, and what better way than Nudin'?  See you all there,
    
    Jack

    Just a reminder that the next NENA swim is on Feb 18.  I will not
    be able to make it, but will be happy to arrange any carpooling
    for Naturism noters and their friends.  We had 5 last time, but
    I Know we have more naturists than that in the GMA!
    
    Enjoy!
    
    Jack

    I know it's short notice, but I just got the notification in the
    mail.  Anyone interested in car pooling to, or meeting at, the Nautilus
    Plus Health Club this Saturday?  They are having a Clothing Optional
    swim, with steam room, jacuzzi, sauna, and (Clothing Required) Nautilus
    Room.  It is in Revere, MA Saturday from 8:00 P.M. to midnight.
    The cost is $10 per person.
    
    I will be leaving from the Nashua Area at around 7, but would be
    happy to stop along the way.
    
    Directions from points north - Take Rte. 1 south (from I-95/128
    heading north) and exit onto Rte. 60 in Revere.  Go 3/4 way around
    rotary onto Squire Road (Rte. 60 east).  passing the Northgate Shopping
    Center.  At the Firestone Tire traffic light (Charger Rd.) turn
    left and proceed to the open parking lot at the very end for Nautilus
    Plus.  "Lock your vehicle - this is an urban area."
    
    From points south, the directions are similar, only take the Tobin
    Bridge to Rte. 1 heading north.
    
    Hope to see you there!
    
    Jack 

Note that NENA events are restricted to NENA members (although each member
can bring one guest or couple).  If you are inclined to attend this event, you 
should either make arrangements to attend as the guest of a member, or (better)
become a member yourself.  I don't know whether memberships will be available
at the door, but you could call the NENA message center at (617)327-0273 to
find out.

Also, if this event gets a good enough turnout, it may be repeated monthly
throughout the winter.

	-Neil

    So the first NENA swim at the new location (Nautilus Plus in Revere)
    was a total success!  There were 78 people, with 50 needed to break
    even on the rental.  They not only paid for the rental and the special
    mailing; they were able to set aside moneys which may be used towards
    the purchase of LAND!  (NENA, because of the Moonstone situation,
    is looking to purchase property somewhere in New England for a
    naturist Camp similar to Lupin, in California.)
    
    There will be future swims at Nautilus Plus in January, February,
    and March.  Each will be held on the 3rd Saturday (as it stands
    today).  I will keep you posted as info is received.
    
    I had the real pleasure of meeting the Wassermans Saturday!  Deb
    and Gary were very nice, and excellent company!  Mark, on the other
    hand, was so bored of the proceedings that he slept through almost
    the whole thing!  (Mark is their adorable 1-month old new addition,
    and was so quiet you'd never know he was there!)
    
    The club itself was very nice, and HUGE!  It had about the longest
    indoor pool I've ever seen, ditto the Nautilus/weight room.  There
    were two hot tubs, steam rooms, saunas, even massage rooms (which
    got a workout!)  Videos on Naturism/Nudism were shown on a giant
    screen TV next to the bar.  The people who manage the club were
    very happy with the behavior of the naturists (Not surprisingly!)
    and will be happy to have us return.
    
    So mark your calendars for Jan. 20!  Hope to see lots of fellow
    noters at the next swim.
    
    Jack

    Hi all,
    
    I recently joined NENA and received the newsletter with the Health
    Club info for the upcoming swim - Saturday January 20!  I can't
    wait!!!!!
    
    To clear up the question about members/non-members of NENA......
    
    ANYONE can go.  You do not need to be a NENA member.
    
    Cost:  $10 per person for NENA Members & their Guests.  NENA member
           must have NENA card with them, and each member is allowed
           bring one person or one couple only as their guest(s).
           Also - Guests of NENA members must arrive with their sponsors
           to obtain the discounted usage fee.
    
    	   $13 per person for non-members.  Non-members can join NENA
           at the swims it they would like ($25.00 per year).
    
    I know of several people who are going from this notesfile, and
    maybe a few more will go now that we know it's open to anyone.
    
    See you on the 20th!  (Directions are posted in a previous reply
    to this note.)
        
    - Molly -

    I forgot to mention in .18 - that if anyone would like a copy of
    the information on the swim - I will xerox it and send it to you.
    It includes a little info on the Health Club facilities, and has
    a couple of maps, along with the written directions.
    
    It may not get to you before Jan 20th (we all know how long internal
    mail takes!), but it might get there in time.  If you want a copy,
    just send me your mail stop.
    
    Thanks,
    
    - Molly -
   
    Also - another thing I forgot to add in .18.  NENA asks that you
    bring at least two towels, one for sitting on (proper etiquette),
    and one to dry off with.  They suggest bringing refreshments to
    share.  They say you may bring a deck chair for poolside lounging.
    And to bring a lock for lockers.
    
    Disclaimer - I haven't been to one of these swims yet - so I'm just
    quoting from the NENA newsletter.

    Hi all,
    
    Just a reminder that there's another outing at the Health Club this
    Saturday (February 17th).  See previous replies to this note for
    directions and more information.
    
    The next swim after this one is Saturday, March 17th.
    
    I'll be there Saturday for sure.  Hope to see some of you there.
    
    - Molly -

    Okay, the next two NENA swims are on October 20 (this Saturday) and
    on November 17 from 8 pm till midnight.
    
    This *is* a clothing-optional event.  The cost is $10 per person for
    NENA members and their guests. It's $15 for anyone else.  You might
    arrive with a NENA member in order to get the cheaper rate.
    
    It is suggested that you bring refreshments to share and a lock for
    the locker and a towel to sit on.

    FYI...There will be no NENA swim in December...there will be one in
    November and the one after that will be in January.
    
    B.

    The 90-91 NENA Swims schedule:
    
    	January 19
    	February 16
    	March 16
    	April 20
    
    As usual, $10 for members and $15 for non-members.

And a reminder from your friendly neighborhood naturist...

	The next NENA swim is this Saturday, January 19th.
	
	See some of the previous notes for directions and information,
	or send me mail.  There should be a small group of (10-15) Digits there
	this time.  If you are going for the first time, come over and 
	meet the group.

	B.

    Does anyone know of similar swims on the West Coast (Los Angeles area)?
    
    LArry Andries

    By the way...
    
    It was nice meeting all of you who went to the NENA swim for the first
    time.  I think that there were at least three read-only DEC Naturists
    who showed up, as well as a few not-quite-so-shy ones. :-)
    
    B.

    
    
    >as well as a few not-quite-so-shy ones.
    
    Hahahahaha......I don't remember anyone in my group that was shy...
    
    Everyone seemed to being having a great time (not to mention that
    playing Wallyball was a BLAST!)
    
    Probably won't make the February one, but March's is a good
    possibility.
    
    Anyone that's been tentative to attend one of this, DO!  It's a lot of
    fun! 
    
    kath

Ah, Kathy, I don't think there were any shy people in your group...they just
haven't posted in this notesfile yet. :-)

There was at least one person who came over to introduce himself as a
Digit...forgot his name...sounded like a first-timer.

I saw the signup sheet before I left...there were 102 names on the list...
could be the largest group yet.

B.

    You mean me, Ben?

    It was my first organized naturist event ... and I had a great time.
    I certainly am not shy, though.
    And I have written in here before (an intro note).

    I agree with Kathy ... those of you who have been putting it off, I
    recommend you give it a try.  I can't make the next one, but will be
    there in March!

        -- Dave

Well, I went to one last April, and hopefully will make next months.  Unfortun-
ately these things seem to conflict with other stuff I have going on, but I
sure enjoyed the one I went to..



Jim

  Well, this was my first NENA swim, 

  Did I meet you Ben?  I'm terrible with names, but think I might have
  me you (by the pool)

  Anyways, it was a lot of fun, .. although, we could have called it
  a NENA clam bake, .. since we were all a bit like lobsters with those
  110 degree jaquzzi's ... OUCH .. hot stuff!

  Had a great time though, .. and that was my first time at walleyball ...
  (not to mention nude anyball!)

  paul

    Nude volley ball can be interesting at times playing on a sawdust court
    you get tiny little micro splinters in the strangest places.
    
    -j(who is almost ready to make the trip east just to attend a NENA
    swim)
    
    

>>  Did I meet you Ben?  I'm terrible with names, but think I might have
>>  me you (by the pool)

    	Gee, I would hope you would have remembered...I must have been
    	the only Oriental there...Were you with Kathy's horde?  If so,
    	you must have been that third guy I wasn't introduced to...or
    	was it you who gave me the newspaper?
    
    	Hey, Gort, you and the whole Colorado gang should come out here
    	one of these days.  What a concept!  A DEC Naturist Gathering. :-)
    
    	Ben
    

Re: .33

>    	you must have been that third guy I wasn't introduced to...or
>    	was it you who gave me the newspaper?

Hi Ben (and others),

I was the one who came bearing a newspaper.  Good luck finding
a place.  I'm most read only here, but I do have an reply in the
introduction note.  I had a blast Saturday (I've even told some
of my friends about it ;^>).  Can't make the next one but hope
to go again in March.

Kerry

    	Oh, I'd bet Ben's referring to me since he's already called me
    a "Naturism voyeur"! :^) :^)  I'm not shy, but it's true - I
    haven't ever gotten around to putting my intro in here.  One of
    these days... 

    	I certainly had fun...my first NENA activity, first time at
    wallyball too.

    	Think you'll recognize me next time, Ben? :^)

    	amy

    No, I think Ben was referring to Me!  Although we have met a couple of
    times before, I stood next to him for about five minutes before I spoke
    to him, and he recognized me.  And they say it is us Old Fahts that get
    senile!  ;-)
    
    But seriously, there was a great turnout at the swim, but from inside
    and outside DEC.  Welcome to Dave, Amy, Paul, and Kath (who really DOES
    look better sans clothing!)  And also the read-only noters who still
    wish to remain anonymous.
    
    Jack

no-no-no! :-)

There was one guy who wasn't in either my group or Kathy's group.
I won't attempt to print his name since he's still a read-only.
Jack I do know...I just don't remember what he looks like after 18 months! :-)

It was nice just sitting around to pool talking to all these people, regardless
of which group they were in.  

    
    
    
    RE: Ben
    
    > ...Kathy's horde...
    
    Hahahahahaha...see if *I* ever organize anything anymore!  ;-)  (I
    think everyone just looked at me really weird when I laughed out loud
    reading that).
    
    
    RE: Jack
    
    >....looks better sans clothing.... 
    
    I still haven't decided if that's a compliment or not, but it sure
    made me feel good when Jim said it!  ;-)   (Just wait til I get the
    last 20lbs off).
    
    kath

And for those of us who are far away (but enjoying summer nude activities) what
is wallyball?

Peter.

Try VolleyBall in a racquetball court.  Can't use the ceiling, though
alternate rules allow using the walls.  Ball is in play as long as it doesn't 
touch the floor.

It was an interesting sight to walk into that health club and see bodies
flying around trying to hit the ball...:-)

B.

    re.40
    I'll bet there are a few good collisions.
    I'm game for a DEC naturist gathering where shall we have it and when?
    Sounds like you have a really good group out there. I've been thinking
    of calling another trip to the reef for the Colorado folks you guys are
    of course invited. That reminds me I haven't heard much from Phil and
    Judy in here lately you folks still around?

    Definitely a Compliment, Kath!  Clothes can hide a multiple of sins. 
    In the buff, the Real you shines through (Including Personality!)  I
    was just agreeing with Jim's comment.
    
    Jack

>>    That reminds me I haven't heard much from Phil and
>>    Judy in here lately you folks still around? 
    
According to TMS, Phil is still here.  So I am, busy but still here.  :-)
This morning's cold (wind chill of 30 below) makes me want Spring to arrive
even sooner.  It's to darn cold to do much nuding, even indoors.  The furnace
is having a hard time keeping up with the wind sucking the warmth out of the
house.  

Judy

Reminder...

	Next NENA swim...February 16th...

I just might make this one!






Jim

    Will the DECnudists be well represented tomorrow?  I am planning on
    going.  I am looking forward to wallyball!
    
    Jack

Let's see...I count at least four DEC people going...probably more...
as well as the regular group that doesn't work for DEC...

B.

    I'll be there (but without the little guy this time - he's too little
    to stay up that late!)
    

    Friendly reminder...
    
    Next Swim is on the 16th of March...
    
    "See" you there...:-)
    
    B.

    Anyone going to the next NENA swim on the 20th?
    
    B>

Well, for once, I don't have my kids on a night when there is a swim
scheduled, and its been a year since I've been to one, so I just may 
make it.

    I didn't think there was one in April!  
    
    I'm sending out mail right now for it, hopefully we can get some
    naturists psyched for summer with this one!  ;-)
    
    Time for another one!  What a blast we had last time!
    
    kath

The last one is in May...

    Just a quick word...
    
    It was nice meeting you new Digits at the NENA Swim last night.
    
    I was going to say that I hope to see more of you at future naturist
    events, but I figure that would be impossible. :-):-) (pun intended).
    
    B.

    Next round of NENA swims is about to start:
    
    October 19
    November 16
    December ??  This is a possible; usually, there's no swim in December.
    January 18
    February 15
    March 21
    maybe more...?
    
    NENA members should bring their membership cards.  ASA or TNS or other
    club members should bring their club's membership cards.  NENA members
    may bring one guest or one couple in at the members' rate.  This is
    usually the 3rd Saturday of each month.
    
    While I have your attention, NENA will have a display at the Whole 
    Health Expo at the Park Plaza Hotel in Boston on NOvember 23rd and
    24th.
    
    B.

    Anyone planing on going to the Saturday night swim?  I will be going,
    but am not a NENA member (I am a TNS member, though.)  As Benson had
    mentioned earlier, if we can match up members with non-members, we can
    get a better rate.  (I'm sure we can work out something where both
    members and non-members can benefit.)
    
    I look forward to seeing some of you there.  It's a good time!

    Probably won't be there until January...

    Has anyone gone to any of the NENA swims this season?
    
    B.

  I haven't yet, .. but I was just wondering when the next one was and
  if anyone would like to go?  Kath went to the last one I think (nov?)

  If you're going to go Ben, stop by my cube and let me know.

    The Swim dates are in the NENA newsletters but I haven't got
    one in many months.  I think they're usually the third SAturday of
    the month, but I'm not sure...

 Jan 18 appears to be the next one..








 Jim

    I went in November.  And yes, the 18th is the next one...

    The next two swims for the season are on March 21st and April 18th.
    
    Any news on the one that was held on Saturday?

Hi folks,

I'd like to organize a carpool to Saturday's c/o swim!  Is anyone
interested?  I'm coming from the Nashua area, but I'm willing to
detour to pick up others or meet up with people.

If anyone else is carpooling and has an empty seat, could you let
me know?

Thanks!

Kerry

Last Saturday I attended the NNH (Naturist New Hampshire) Fall Fling, held
at Don's Health and Fitness Club in Concord, NH.  This facility is not as
large as Nautilus Plus in Revere, Mass, and not really as nice either, but
there is a pool and hot tub, basketball, a room full of Nautilus-type
equipment, and wallyball set up in one of the raquetball courts, and people
were having a good time.  I would guess attendance at around 30-35 people,
which is not bad for a first event.  According to Merrill Mudgett, the
organizer, a lot of people had heard about the event either through this
notesfile or on the usenet group rec.nude; most of the people I talked to
had network access.

At closing, it was agreed that it was a good idea and we would do it again.
A good group of people, and nearly an hour shorter driving distance (each
way) than to the NENA events in Revere.

For more information about Naturist New Hampshire, write to them at P.O. Box
566, Tilton, NH 03276, or call Merrill at (603)524-5805.  Membership is
$15/year.

    Just out of curiosity...
    
    I'm assuming that the Health club was open to regular members at the
    same time that the Fall Fling was being conducted. With that, how did
    regular club goers react to having a c/o event?
    
    Or am I missing something?
    
    
    Frank
    

    It's closed to the public at those hours...

Hi Frank,

Don's Health and Fitness closes at 3PM on Saturdays, the NNH event started
at 4.  The owner is sympathetic to our interest, but not THAT sympathetic!

:-)

    I just heard from Naturist NH Coordinator (Merrill Mudgett) that the
    NNH Swims will be the FIRST Saturday of the month from now on (they
    were originally scheduled for the 2nd Saturday of the month).  The
    next one will be November 7th, same time and place.
    
    I can't make it but I'll be at the NENA swim on the 21st..
    
    Robin

I got the NNH letter the other day, and the swim will indeed be on Nov.
7th at Don's Health and Fitness, but it will be starting at 5:00, not
4:00 as it did last time.  I can't remember now, but I think it will run
till 10PM.

Carl

    Received my NNH news letter yesterday. The December swim will be held
    Saturday, Dec. 5th. Same location @ Don's Health & Fitness in Concord
    starting at 5:00.
    Hope to see you there...........Carl

    The January swim will be held on Saturday, January 2nd. Same location
    Don's Health & Fitness in Concord, NH starting at 5:00 pm. Their will
    be a pot luck super. Bring something to share, and also your own place
    settings.
    The NNH news letter also stated that the monthly swims will be held
    the first Saturday every month. You will not be receiving a news
    letter to this effect. News letters will be coming out later with
    special events or changes in the schedule.
    
    Happy Holidays...Carl

    It's time once again for the new season of Indoor Swims sponsored by
    NENA, held at the Nautilus Plus health club in Revere, MA.
    
    The first one this year is Saturday, October 16th, and the theme is
    Halloween!  Anyone wearing a costume (or, rather, un-costume) is eligible
    to win free admission to another swim this season.  The time for this
    opening event is 8PM - 2 AM, featuring DJ music and dancing (usual
    hours are 8-12 midnight).

    The swim is a clothing-optional event.  The cost is $10 per person for
    NENA members and their guests and members of other Naturist organizations.
    Others are $15.  If you arrange to arrive with a NENA member you can
    get the cheaper rate, but you have to arrive at the same time (or wait 
    for them outside the door.)  First timers need to call in advance, 
    800-722-6362.  Do NOT call the health club (unless you are lost..)
    
    The club is very nice, and HUGE!  It has a large indoor pool, and a
    gigantic Nautilus/weight room.  There are two hot tubs, steam rooms, 
    saunas, walleyball, racquetball, and massage rooms.  Videos on 
    Naturism/Nudism are shown on a giant screen TV next to the bar.  
    Some nights include dancing.
    
    It is suggested that you bring refreshments to share and a lock for
    the locker and a towel to sit on.

    Directions from points north - Take Rte. 1 south (from I-95/128
    heading north) and exit onto Rte. 60 in Revere.  Go 3/4 way around
    rotary onto Squire Road (Rte. 60 east).  Passing the Northgate 
    Shopping Center.  At the Firestone Tire traffic light (Charger Rd.) 
    turn left and proceed to the open parking lot at the very end for 
    Nautilus Plus.  Please lock your vehicle.
    
    From points south, take the Tobin Bridge to Rte. 1 heading north.  Exit 
    onto Rte. 60 in Revere.  Go around the rotary onto Squire Road (Rte. 60 
    east), passing the Northgate Shopping Center.  At the Firestone Tire

    The calendar for the remainder of the season (Every 3rd Saturday through
    April, no December) appears below.  Usual hours are 8-12, some later,
    but call NENA for more details.  Each swim has a theme and free
    admissions for future swims will be awarded to those with the best costumes.
