Klahaya Swim & Tennis Club was established in 1958 as a facility where families could gather to enjoy swimming, friendships, and other activities. We undertook a major remodel of the facilty in 2008.
Presently there are 240 families. We are open from the middle of May until the middle of September. We have a varied schedule offering a Swim Team, Tennis Team, Lessons, Open Swim, Adult Lap Swimming, an Adult Swim Team, and many social activities.

The lobby and grass area will be open for swim and tennis lessons and then Open Swim at 1pm.
After the completion of lessons next week, we have rented the AM pool time to Edmonds School District so the pool/lobby/grass area will be open at 12:45pm.
**Please note there are no lessons on Friday, Aug 10th, Aug 17th so the pool/lobby/grass area will be open at 12:45pm.
Thank you for a great summer of team and lessons.

News You Can Use
Pre-Season Adult Hits/Drop-in Tennis
Adult Tennis Kick-Off Potluck/BBQ - Monday, June 25th
New Tuesday Doubles
Fitness Tennis
Adult Clinic Dates
KLA vs. Innis Arden - doubles matches & potluck - date TBD
After this beautiful May, we can think of nothing better than hitting the Klahaya courts with friends. While the official adult season begins with doubles on Monday, June 25th at 6:00PM and runs through August 13th, please come out for some informal games on Monday, June 18th.
To kick off the official start of the adult tennis season, we will be having a pot-luck/bbq immediately following doubles play on Monday, June 25th. If it rains, we will just push the event to the following Monday. A reminder will be sent out the week before the event.
Because of the popularity of Monday hits, we are adding a few additional evenings where adults can take over the courts. If you did not get your fill on Monday, please drop in on the following Tuesdays: July 3rd, 17th and 31st and August 7th. These are all non-home swim meet evenings. Parking will be readily available. There will not be a instructors present during these Tuesdays, but we are confident that everyone can sort themselves onto the courts.
Fitness tennis begins Wednesday, June 27th and runs through August 15th from 7:00PM - 8:00PM. All skill levels/abilities welcome. Prepare to get your sweat on while honing basic tennis skills. If you haven’t tried fitness tennis yet, you must. If you have come out before, you are already addicted!
Adult clinics will be held July 2nd, 16th and 30th from 5:00PM - 6:00PM. There will be a sign up sheet in the KLA lobby. The cost of this class is $10/person. Drop-ins welcome as long as class size hasn’t exceeded 18. This is a terrific (an inexpensive) way to build your tennis skill-set.
Our adult match against Innis Arden was such a hit last year that we will be repeating it this year. The specifics are still being finalized. Will send an update as soon event details are confirmed.
Looking forward to a great Klahaya tennis season. Please feel free to contact Jennifer Combs with any questions, tennisdirector@klahaya.net.

| Klahaya Benefit: Tennis at Forest Crest Hello Klahaya Families!
It's Peter Reni here, friendly neighborhood tennis pro. I have pretty awesome news for all of my tennis people.
Every summer, people ask me about playing indoor tennis during the winter, and for good reason. Playing year round is really important for kids to develop into competitive players. It doesn't have to be a lot, even once or twice per week makes a big difference.
The problem is, playing all year round isn't free. There are a number of awesome clubs to play at, but one has reached out to me to offer Klahaya members a discount on all of their junior tennis programs.
Forest Crest Tennis Club joined our summer league this year and is under the command of their pro, Josh Basha. He's a very highly ranked player and an accomplished coach. Many of our older players play at his club, and he's even hired several of our kids to be assistant coaches for him. He's a really nice guy, an awesome coach, and a friend of the club. I highly recommend him.
For our younger players, he offers the USTA recommended "color" balls programs. This is a very cool thing that I hope to have up and running at Klahaya in a few years. It will be different from what your kids are used to at Klahaya, but once the kids get used to using slightly different balls, they will see that the game of tennis opens up for them much quicker than it does with normal balls.
I've attached his offer below. Check out his programs, and make sure to wear your Klahaya gear over there to let him know what's up!
