The Marine Hills Swim and Tennis Club had its season opening on May 11. As a tradition, the club paraded through the neighborhood on decorated bikes dressed in 1960s clothing. This year marked the 50th anniversary of the club.

The club is hosting a block party from 1 to 4 p.m. June 22 to celebrate 50 years of service to the Federal Way community. The party is located at the Marine Hills pool in Federal Way on 600 S. 302nd St. and is open to the general public at no cost.

The day’s activities include an open swim, a water safety booth and speaker, community safety information, a carnival and water games for kids, a raffle, and an ice cream social. This will be a fun and informative day that the community won’t want to miss.

This summer, the club offers competitive swimming, water polo and tennis teams as well as swimming and tennis lessons for kids of all ages and ability levels. The swimming team has won the all-city championship for the past two years.

The pool is open to members seven days a week starting on June 19. Hours are 1 p.m. to 8 p.m. Monday through Friday, and noon to 8 p.m. on weekends. For more information about hours and memberships, visit marinehillspool.org.
