Hi Everyone,

Tomorrow is the signup for City Lessons I'm told. If that doesn't work out, I've launched lessons all the way until the end of June 2024. Unfortunately I'm still out at Pacific Shores Resort in Nanoose Bay but the water is still wet out there! The good news is that pool repairs at Stephenson Point Road (In-Space Childcare) are moving ahead and the projected re-opening has moved from fall to Summer. I don't have a date yet so I can't do signups yet.

If you don't see something you want, please contact me. I can merge and move classes around to make something work for you. I am also doing sales. If a class doesn't fill, I drop the price on the day of that class on the website.

See all the current lessons;
Sincerely,
Mark Charke

Hi Everyone, Monday to Thursday now at Pacific Shores! Lessons at Pacific Shores Resort in Nanoose Bay are really starting to fill up and I've expanded to Thursday classes starting in March running between 3PM and 7:15PM. (I take a 15 minute break from 5-5:15 but I can move that around to make classes fit together.) You can send me what times you want and how many sessions and I just combine all the sessions in a single class to register for. March/April/May Registrations are open for March and April. I've started programing May lessons and some of those are available as well. February does have one single session left on the 28th. www.Charkeswim.Com (to see all classes) Feb | Charke Swim March | Charke Swim April | Charke Swim
May | Charke Swim Flash Sales: If a class is empty on the day of that class, I will try to put that class on sale. This only happens on the day of the class. Stephenson Point: Opening either Summer or Fall 2024 we get different estimates from different members of the repair crew. The pool is going to get an overhaul with a new liner (not so scratchy anymore!!!), new pumping equipment and black and white walls. Also I just found out, the old dolphin vacuum was thrown out due to smoke contamination. Cry. It worked very hard. Refunds: With a more stable income, I've been able to afford to get a bunch more refunds out the door and I'm down to less than 30 refunds. Other Rentals: I continue to look for other rental opportunities. Even if Stephenson Point isn't open, I really like teaching outdoors and there is Kin pool and Westwood Lake as options this summer. I'll post again when and if those become options. Sincerely,
Mark Charke

Hi Everyone,
April lessons have launched and are now available! The complete list of lessons are below. On the website you can now see text lists right below the main lists of classes. FAQ: I'm just teaching private lessons at Pacific Shores Resort which can be 1, 2 or by special request 3 students. This is because of the depth of the pool, limited space and fewer people out in Nanoose Bay. In fall, I am hoping that Stephenson Point Road Pool will re-open and I plan to resume classes.
