Indoor Pool Swim Party @ Ballard Pool - WNBR Seattle Fundraiser
Yay for cool weather season events! Don't let those legendary tight Buns of Steel WNBR cycling bodies get out of shape over the Fall and Winter! There is an abundance of activities for everybody including a pumpkin run, yoga, and indoor sports. Today we are announcing our annual series of indoor pool swims!
Finally, WNBR's Seattle Swim 2009/2010 Season Discount Ticket Packages are now available at special pre-event prices online via Brown Paper Tickets! Come enjoy Ballard Pool's recently renovated facility with pool, hot tub, slide and the popular rope swing! This is the fourth year we have had such swims hosted at City of Seattle aquatic facilities!
These swims will primarily serve as a fundraiser for World Naked Bike Ride (WNBR) Seattle. 85% of even proceeds will go toward WNBR Seattle 2009 expenses and 15% will return to back to our collaborative partner Body Freedom Collaborative to help fund future swims. Much needed funds will help WNBR Seattle founder Daniel Johnson recover money for expenses he had for recent WNBR Seattle events.
Here are the proposed swim dates all taking place on the first Saturday of the month from 8-10 PM, with a half hour lobby time before and after the two hours of pool use:
Sat, 10 Oct 2009, 8-10 PM at Ballard Pool
Sat, 14 Nov 2009, 8-10 PM at Ballard Pool
Sat, 12 Dec 2009, 8-10 PM at Ballard Pool

New participants are encouraged to contact Daniel Johnson about how to participate by phoning him at (206) 369 - 2661 (mobile) or by e-mail at jointhefun@WNBRseattle.org
Note: Over the years, the costs of using Ballard Pool have gone up. Because of this, our ticket prices have gone up slightly.
NOTE:

*Everybody who attends 2009 / 2010 Seattle Swims events must purchase a Seattle Swims Season Card or pay a registration fee for $5 which will be good for all Fall 2009 and Winter/early Spring 2010 swims. Either the card must be presented at each swim event or pre-registration information must otherwise be confirmed before each swim event admittance.
**Tickets are NOT available for sale on Ballard Pool property (including in front of building or in the parking lot). To discourage people from paying on the day of the event, we provide discounts for paying in advance, including through online ticketing. People who pay on night of swim must pay $12.50/swim for drop in tickets and CANNOT pay on Ballard Pool property.
***Seven swims are considered a season pass for the 2009/2010 season. In the event of cancelled swims or unused tickets, credits toward swims may be used toward future events or the value may be donated to WNBR Seattle.

This is a clothing-optional, family-friendly and private event. It is also a participatory event among friends in a family-friendly atmosphere. To ensure we are all among friends and people who understand our values we are making the event semi-private, restricting attendance to people who are know to be in good terms in multiple networks including the greater Seattle arts community, World Naked Bike Ride, Solstice Cyclists, Body Pride Ride, nudist/naturist community, Naked Pumpkin Run, Burning Man Community networks and friends, families and coworkers. All participants must follow Seattle Parks & Recreation aquatic facility rules, unless otherwise specified by the City. Photography and videography of the swims will be strictly regulated by the organizers. Photography will be allowed only on pre-approval of the organizers and for only a set amount of time in set locations; we will strive to ensure that no one will ever be photographed without his or her explicit and informed permission. In short, cameras, PDAs, and mobile phones will not be allowed in the pool area without close pre-approval and pre-approval of those being photographed or filmed. Coin-operated lockers are available in the changing rooms to store your cell phones. Participants understand this is a private event and they may be asked by event staff to modify their behavior and/or leave. If there is ANY reason for the WNBR Seattle Fundraiser directors to think that a person may be attempting to attend any of the WNBR Seattle Fundraiser for an inappropriate reason, he or she will be refused admittance.
All applicants may be required to provide information for and must pass an inquiry made to the National Sex Offender Public Registry (NSOPR). Information provided for this inquiry must be confirmed with a Washington State driver license or Washington State identification card. For more information on this procedure, please send your full name and full address including the name of the county you reside to Daniel Johnson at the e-mail address given above before attending a swim event.
