The countdown to school is real. We figured the least we could do is soften the blow. 🍦

Come celebrate the last stretch of summer with us at the Racquet Club:

🍨 Ice cream sundae bar
📸 Photo booth (pre-school portraits, anyone?)
🥧 Pie in the face game

Here's how the pie game works: organizers write down a number, guess it right and you choose — pick someone to take a pie plate of whipped cream to the face, or step up and take it yourself.

Two hours to send summer off right. Come get a scoop.

Wednesday, August 6 | 2:00 – 4:00 PM

To keep our facilities in the tip-top, competitive shape our members expect, we sometimes have to undertake major maintenance. It’s time for us to update our 50-meter pool and hot tub at the Club, which will take them out of commission temporarily starting Oct. 1.

The Where: Little Rock Racquet Club

The What: temporary closure of Racquet’s 50-meter pool and hot tub

The Why: We’re going to repaint the pool, expand the pool deck towards the parking lot, and update the hot tub’s chemical feeder systems.

The When: Starting Wed., Oct. 1, the hot tub area will close for about 10 days, and the 50-meter pool will close for an estimated four to five weeks. Our 25-yard pool is remaining open for lap swimmers and for the swim team’s training.

We appreciate everyone’s patience as we keep our facilities in prime condition!

They’re here! Classes start Oct. 2!

UPDATE: While salsa and sangria go beautifully together, adding storms to the mix is less appealing. Due to the predicted scattered thunderstorms this afternoon, we’re canceling today’s poolside event at the Club tonight. Spread the word!
