  1. The Board approved the October 19, 2023 Meeting Minutes.
  1. Mira Costa High School ongoing pool situation
  1. We are continuing to work with some key contacts in the school district. The main issue continues to be the district’s lack of both a pool supervisor and lifeguard staff. We have escalated our situation to the Superintendent and are waiting to hear back.
  2. Surfside families are strongly encouraged to reach out to anyone they know that might be interested in being a lifeguard. Lifeguard positions being filled is the only way we will be able to return to the Costa pool.
  3. Redondo Union has been very helpful in finding time in their schedule for some extra Surfside practices.
  1. Swim Meets
  1. The new league John wants to join is currently having pool issues which they hope to have resolved soon and we can join in March.
  2. Southern California Swimming does not have any meets posted online for January or February. John will call for a follow-up.
  3. John is looking into having a swim meet with the Dolphins on a Monday at Mira Costa (during their practice time when they have their lifeguards on duty).
  4. John has not heard back from the Bay Club about a possible dual meet soon.
  5. John is looking into doing an inter-squad practice meet at the Redondo pool on a Sunday morning.
  6. SOBA is busy with their new league, so they do not have time for a dual meet these days.
  7. John is going to reach out to other local teams (i.e. PVAC) to see about doing dual meets.
  1. Membership

Eileen updated the board on the preparation status of the team’s holiday party coming up on Friday (December 1st). Looks like we will have a good turnout.
