Summer is coming, and it is almost time for school to end. At the beginning of summer, kids are excited to be out of school and to be Òfree,Ó but by the second week of vacation, boredom has replaced this freedom. The Hillsborough Hammerheads neighborhood swim team is a great way to get the kids involved in a fun activity while making friends and winning awards. The swim team is a neighborhood organization meant to teach kids good sportsmanship, how to swim, and to give them an opportunity to make new friends. All children under the age of 14 are welcome, whether they know how to swim or not. This is a chance unlike any other; you will make memories that will stay with you and your kids forever. Practices are three times a week at the Hillsborough pool, with meets on Tuesday nights. At the end of July, there is a Championship Meet in which all the neighborhood swim teams compete. There is also a pool party, which involves parent-child relays, watermelon, and fun! If you want to help with the team or would like more information, please contact our swim team coordinator, Natalie Mahoney, at 223-9126.

Your dues are used for the maintenance and upkeep of the common areas and for insurance for the association. This results in a better and safer neighborhood and helps to maintain our property values. The pool operation and maintenance costs are independent from the HPOA dues. All pool expenditures are funded by the pool memberships. Please pay your dues on time to avoid the penalties and to ensure that we have the funds to provide the necessary services. The fall newsletter will list the addresses of delinquent lots. If you have any questions concerning your dues, please contact Val Carr at 225-7809.
