Got a call from Sandy (SWA PD) just checking contact info for poolie status. One question asked was when? No real time to work with, but they should call you 3-4 weeks prior to class start. She said to call back in Jan and they would have an idea of how many classes it would take to get out of the pool. It is news, not great news. I am planning to keep my day job for now. Switching from backstroke to freestyle.
One thing I have heard thru the PD and others, is just to be READY. Congrats, and good luck to all of you.

Just keep swimming
Just keep swimming, just keep swimming, swimming, swimming, what do we do we swim, swim, swim. . . . .
Sorry, couldn't resist. Try floating from time to time too, helps the time pass.
What we need is a swim up bar in here, maybe a swim up black jack table too? Just an idea, maybe we could do it as a self help project. I'm sure there are enough of us in here that have done a few of those.

I called them to find out how many classes deep in the pool I was, and that's been it. You should be getting emails from them every few months with updates...

Chief in HOU said we would not be hiring till we were through with RNP training. So looks like no classes for sure up through march.
Send back those Christmas, birthday cards ect. Tell em to save that money for expanding SWA and for the contract!
