Construction is going swimmingly with our new school! We are planning on opening mid-late May. Chad Hooker is our General Contractor who also built our 1st school in Half Moon Bay. His quality and expertise are resulting in a top notch facility that will be offerring LPB's famous swim lessons to the south Peninsula community. Here is the pool, dug and rock foundation preparing for concrete framing and pouring, getting ready for our Diamond Brite pool finish:
LPB staff and teachers are looking forward to expanding to the new pool. It is perfectly sized, and has great natural light with 4 new skylights we have installed. High ceilings, state of the art Raypac X-Fyre pool heater (remember our pools are always 90 degrees cozy warm!), and the Astral Heliox Ultra-Violet sanitizer providing the highest level of cleanliness while allowing us to use as little chlorine as possible. And the cream of the crop will be our Neptune Benson Defender pool filter. A world leader in pool filters, the Defender will allow us to take advantage of an amazing 90 minute turnover rate for the entire 40,000 gallons of pool water! We've taken every measure to guarantee the cleanest pool water possible.
Most of the staff for our new location will be current employees already trained with experience. Keep an eye out for our seasoned teachers. We are always hiring and training new teachers at all of our schools as well. We are currently interviewing from our management staff for a Site Director in Atherton.
For those who are wondering WHERE the school is located, it is perfectly placed on Fifth Ave and El Camino, right next to Chavez Market. So convenient for Palo Alto as well as Redwood City/Woodside. Chavez Market also has a spectacular Taqueria that serves some of the most delicious horchata I've had! If you haven't been, you are missing out. Here is an outside view of the new school so next time you are driving down El Camino you can take a peak:

We will be giving priority sign ups to current swimmers. So if that after school or weekend spot is important to you, sign up at any of our current locations for the time being and switch to our new site when we open.
