Fall 2024 Status Information

Woodmoor Pool:

Due to the decision by the Northshore School District to close the beloved pool at Woodmoor due to budget cuts, we have been forced to cease all operations at Woodmoor on the eve of Saturday, August 31st.   You do not need to do anything regarding your account

 

What does this mean for 7C’s Swim School and our Bothell location community?

We will be relocating north to the Thomas Lake Shopping Center in Mill Creek.   Over the past few years we have been working to open our very own location. With a few hurdles and roadblocks along the way, we are now fortunate to only be a few months away from realizing that step in our growth.  We anticipate opening in January 2025.

We will be opening a new state of the art 10,500 sqft 2 pool facility.  Our 5′ deep 38′ x 75′ pool (almost 2x the size of Woodmoor) will be strictly dedicated to instruction while the 2nd shallower sloping 2.5′-3′ deep 27′ x 38′ pool will be the play area. Our approach has always and will remain to be one of tailored instruction followed by self direction and play.

Unfortunately, the timing of their decision to not allow us to continue till year end and our project completion will create a gap of service for those swimming in the afternoons.  We are still continuing to search out and negotiate for more pool space.  Some space may become available during that gap of service.  If you know of anywhere, please reach out.

Expansion of Everett Location

We are expanding the days, number of teachers and operational time at our current Everett location for those who can adjust their schedule to attend and continue lessons during the gap.   We have created a submission form so that we can best facilitate the instructor’s schedules and fit as many families in as we can.  This will not only keep the continuity for your student(s) but will also assist us with providing hours and income for our amazing staff members.

All families that are able to transfer locations will be the 1st group to choose their spots and teachers when we create our new location schedule.

Our New Location Enrollment Priority

We will contact everyone regarding the new location enrollment dates and information.
 

1st Group: Location Transfer Families (see above)

2nd Group: Families enrolled as of Aug 31st (longevity based priority)

3rd Group: All others families that swam during the Summer

4th Group: Remaining families with valid memberships

5th Group: Wait-list

6th Group: Public

Current Registrations and Makeups

Memberships: All Bothell student and family memberships that are active as of September 1st, will be frozen for the period of time that we are in that gap of service.  This will extend the date range of the membership for renewal.

Makeups: We strongly request that all valid makeups be utilized before August 31st in our many daily openings.   We know that for some this may not be feasible or for those absences close to Aug 31st.   That’s ok.  Any valid makeup still existing as of Sept 1st will also be frozen valid until utilized.   You will not loose any makeups.  We just ask, that you try utilizing those prior to Aug 31st.


Note from owners Daniel & Courtney Carr

Although this has been a very emotional and difficult year so far for us as a company, staff, and community, we want to personally thank each one of you that have supported us over the years and during this time.  The letters, emails, texts, and personal conversations of support we have received from you mean so much.  We genuinely LOVE what we do and what it means to be a part of the learning journey of each student, young or old, that walks through our doors. We will take this gap time as a time to FLOAT and take our breath before we ROLLBACK and swim the next length of our swimming journey.
