Photos: 5th Annual Dog Swim a Howling Success

Hastings-on-Hudson's Chemka Pool hosts an annual canine pool party after it closes to humans (on Labor Day).

Posted by Stu Bayer, September 18, 2012 at 03:24 pm

Correction: this was the fifth annual swim

Everybody in the pool! But only if you have four legs.

The Village of Hastings-on-Hudson played host to its annual Dog Swim at the Chemka Pool. Dogs were invited to take a dip, chase after balls and mingle with other pooches for a few hours on Sunday afternoon.

Sometimes the perspective is different if you have lived the experience with kids in the Irvington School District. I have three kids -- one graduate last year and is at Cornell University, one is grade nine and one is grade three. All three got great teachers, small class size and extra help or enrichment as needed. I think the arts programs can be expanded -- music, drama, fine arts (both in classes and electives plus stipends to pay teachers for clubs and after school activities). However, this is a school district that values having small class size and keeping strong all the academics core subjects required for graduation and college plus making a priority sports opportunities middle school through high schools at all levels and types of sports. If you are high achiever it works grades k-12; if you are a child with special education needs or learning issues needs or extra help needs it works too. The average student is the one who is often forgotten in Irvington School District since they just do their thing in school, after school activities and move from grade to grade uneventful but nothing that will be memorable at least in my experience.
