Valleycrest 2000 
PIERREFONDS, QUEBEC, CANADA
About Us The Valleycrest Swimming Club,
is a private, non-profit organisation that has
been the hub of summer activities in our community,
since its opening in July 1974.We are located at 4600 Des Cageux in Pierrefonds,
west of St. Charles Road,
on the southeast corner of Grier Park.
We share this greenspace with St. Anthony's School,
a soccer field, a baseball diamond, two tennis courts,
two playgrounds, a small but adequate parking lot,
a decrepit BMX track and two grouchy neighbours.Surrounded by corn fields and woods at the end of Grier Street,
Valleycrest was a summer club for about one hundred families until 1986.
That year, Des Cageux Boulevard was opened
and homes have been built north, west and south of
the Pool and the Park since then.As the community has grown around Valleycrest,
so too has Pool membership.
The last of 250 available shares was acquired in 1994 and
over 1,150 passes have been issued each year since then.We are one of five pools belonging to the
Pierrefonds Aquatic Association
and one of nineteen pools belonging to the
Northshore Aquatic Association.From it's inception, Valleycrest's main goal
has been teaching kids to swim
and safety around the pool.
It was only natural that we would branch out into
water sports, i.e. Swim Team, Diving, Synchro and Water Polo.
Competitions are organized with other pools of the NAA.
Beach Volleyball was informally added four years ago.Encouraged by their summer success,
many of our young swimmers join Aquatic Teams during the winter.
They have returned the following year to become our star athletes.Looking to the future,
Life Saving, Bronze Medallion and Bronze Cross
are offered to our members who receive their certification
from the Canadian Lifesaving Society.
These are the first steps to becoming a lifeguard.
Our young people come back to the Pool as staff or
go on to become lifeguards at neighbouring pools.Owned by 250 shareholders, Valleycrest is managed by nine
shareholder-volunteers who form the elected executive committee.
The committee runs the Club with the help of other
shareholder-volunteers who give both their time and expertise.[TOP] [ Home ] [ Committee ] [ Staff ] [ Fees ] [ Snack Shack ] [ Lessons & Activities ] [ Weekly Schedule ] [ Monthly Schedule ]
