Hi Everyone,
Nanaimo - Rentals No Longer Available
Unfortunately the City of Nanaimo, due to staff shortages, will not be renting to Charke Swim after December 16th. As a result, I can not offer classes in the new year.
Pacific Shores (Nanoose Bay) - Private Lessons in January
I have arranged to rent Pacific Shores Resort but, understanding that fewer people are available to get there, I will be teaching there, by myself, and only offering Private Lessons starting on January 2nd. As soon as I have the contract, I will launch the lessons.
Stephenson Point Road Pool - Hoping Summer 2024
We are hoping that we can reopen by Summer 2024. The repairs aren't that extensive. The real delay is waiting for a permit to do the rebuilding which is issued by City Hall and a normal wait time is 6 months to a year.
In-Space Childcare - Now Open!
3255 Stephenson Point Road is open for business (other than swimming). In-Space Childcare has struggle for over a year to get the building ready and is running tours of the building right now in preparation for child care services starting on January 2nd! https://www.inspacechildcare.com/ Sincerely,
Mark Charke

Hi Everyone,
Tristan - More Private Lessons
Tristan is returning and this has given me an opportunity to launch a few more Private Lessons before we finish for the year; Nov 25, Dec 2, 9 and 16. These will be the last lessons for 2023.
January Lessons - Maybe
The City of Nanaimo is having staffing difficulties, which is unfortunately common these days. They might not have enough Lifeguards for my rentals. Until I hear from them, I can't launch any 2024 classes. On December 1st, I'm hoping to get the final answer and will send out a newsletter with my plans. Even if it's bad news, by Summer 2024 I should have other rental options.
Go Fund Me
Thank you very much to everyone who has contributed to the GoFundMe. It's going to make things that much easier going forward. I really appreciate it.
Tristan's Private Lessons
Sincrely,
