I hope I don't have to wait until Jan to start class, but I guess it's better to be in the pool than out of it.

I called yesterday morning to inquire about a start date and was told that if I didn’t hear anything by the middle of next week to call back. I got a call this morning and was offered the August 15th class. My pool date was March 19th and my date of availability is August 15th. There is another class tentatively scheduled for August 22nd and then two in September. Calls for the August 22nd class should start sometime next week or the beginning of the following week if they do indeed have one. There are no classes scheduled for October or November and possibly one in December. I asked if they were planning on stopping the interview process in August as previously posted and I was told that they were going to continue to interview, just at a slower pace.

It is funny to see where we think the bubble is or would be if there are no classes after Sept. I interviewed with the type on April 23 and I think I am on the bubble. Hoping to start in Sept but the guys in the Aug classes are filling them up with March pool entry dates.
Have fun swimming I am positive it will be worth the wait.

Anyone heard any rumors about plans for the new LAS domicile? With the slowdown, is that location opening on schedule?
