Copper Valley Club members are fortunate to have three pools available for their use from Memorial Day through Labor Day. There is a fenced in kiddie pool with a grassy area for play and picnicking. It also has a spacious pool deck with chairs for parents to supervise their children while socializing with other members.
The main pool is 25 yards long and six lanes wide, with at least one lap lane available at all times for lap swimming. In addition to the main pool, experienced swimmers can enjoy a diving pool. There also are plenty of lounge chairs and tables with umbrellas to sit by the pools and enjoy your summer day. All areas are supervised by certified lifeguards at all times.
Adjacent to the pool area is the snack bar, a game room, small basketball court and large playground with activities for all. The playground includes swings, a sandbox and a volleyball court as well as a picnic tables to enjoy a bite to eat in the shade.
SWIM TEAM
We also are fortunate to have Jesse Cyr as our diving coach. Jesse comes to us every summer from the Southern Connecticut State University Owls swimming team, where he also is the head diving coach. Several of our local divers have gone on to higher competitions while under the direction of Jesse. He welcomes divers of any age up to 18 to join him.
Private lessons are available through our coaches. The one-on-one that they offer are invaluable for any competitor. Group stroke clinics are provided by Jim McKee during the swim season and take place after swim team practice.
The swim team season usually runs from the week schools are out until the end of July. This year, practices will start on June 21st.

Hopefully you remembered to write down the meets you chose to volunteer when registering for the swim team. If not, do not worry, you will receive an email reminder; this year 2-3 days prior to each meet. If you find yourself unable to fulfill one of the meet commitments we ask you find another parent to take over for you and contact Karin ASAP. How to get there? Each year technology affects even the simple tasks here at CVC. I know most of us now rely on our GPS systems. Prior to each meet I will email these directions to families again. By then I will also have the street addresses for the clubs if you choose to use your GPS system to get you there. High Lane……….. The High Lane club has little parking find something on the streets surrounding the club and walk to the pool. Farms…………….. Paradise………………. Paugussett Club:
