Last Raft and Movie Night!
(Thurs, August 26)
“Bueller… Bueller…”
In observance of the back-to-school season, tonight we will be showing Ferris Bueller’s Day off, rated PG-13. High-schooler Ferris, fakes out his parents, taunts his sister, and dodges the evil principal to ditch school and spend the day running around Chicago instead.
Please note this will be the last Thursday of the season we will be holding rafting and movie night. Once school starts, I have to go to bed early. Should we continue to show movies on weekend nights? You tell me.

Updating the Pool House
Our pool house is in need of attention. Its cinderblock structure has served our community for many years – decades, in fact – and time has taken its toll. Dissatisfaction with the pool house for a variety of reasons has been the most common complaint among the membership for many seasons. In response, the pool board has engaged the Ponte Mellor architectural firm to perform a study to help assess our options for replacing the structure. Please join us at the pool Saturday, July 24th at 7:00 pm to hear a presentation of Ponte Mellor’s recommendations and for general Q & A regarding pool house issues.
I hope to see you there.

Swimmers and runners… start your training!
The Mohican Duathlon is back — with a vengeance. As you may know, the Duathlon took a couple of years off “to find itself.” During that time, it ascended K2, conferred with the Dalai Lama, sipped capuccino with Bono, swam with the dolphins, ran with the bulls, and conquered the disciplines of kundalini yoga and ninjujitsu under the tutelage of eastern masters.
Welcome
Welcome to the website of the Mohican Swimming Pool Association. Ours is a community pool located in the Mohican Hills neighborhood of Bethesda serving members in the surrounding neighborhoods since 1958.
We have a 7-lane competition pool and a large diving well with dual 1-meter boards. We also offer a kiddie pool and a transition pool which is perfect for kids just learning to swim. In 2007 we renovated our picnic area and now offer a large covered pavilion with: an eating and serving area; two large commercial quality grills (one gas and one charcoal); two full size refrigerators; and an ice maker. We also have a children’s climbing and play structure, a sports court with tetherball and basketball, ping pong, and free wi-fi.
Mohican offers swimming lessons and competitive swim and dive teams, which compete against other area pools through the beginning of August every year.
