2025 May Newsletter

The Swim and Tennis Club is a private members-only club governed by a five member board representing the homeowners of Solamere, the Oaks, and Morningstar Estates. Membership dues are included in the HOA annual assessment. There is a moratorium on outside membership for 2025 and the foreseeable future.

Members are reminded to please sign in at the clubhouse. This is the best way to ensure staff has oversight as to who is on premises. It also allows us to track the use of the club.

The facilities are available for use to club members and their accompanied guests. The clubhouse is staffed, but no lifeguard is provided for the pool.

Please be aware of limited parking at the club and walk, cycle, or carpool whenever possible, especially during peak times and special events.

Tennis and Pickleball courts

You will need a key to access whenever the clubhouse is not staffed. Members may buy a key in order to use the tennis courts and pickleball courts throughout the playing season. You may call the club to reserve a court or use available courts at the time of play. The preferred method is to reserve a tennis or pickleball court by signing up for, and using, the Tennis Court and Pickleball Court On-Line Reservation System. Once you are approved, a generic password will be generated. After you sign in, your user name and password can be customized. Booking parameters are 1) one court for two hours per day, and can be booked up to two weeks in advance and 2) reservations are limited to a maximum of four accompanied guests.

Summer 2025 Swim and Tennis Club Calendar

The social committee has been hard at work making plans. The success of last year's events, coupled with refining what works/what's less successful means these monthly events keep getting better. You might want to put the dates on your calendar now. All are such popular events that reservations are required. Invitations will be sent via email in advance, so you can RSVP.

If you could volunteer for any of these events, please contact Chairwoman Dannan Siano at dannansiano@gmail.com for details.

Summer 2025 Pickleball Program

We have four pickleball courts and an active group of players. Equipment is available in the clubhouse if you don't have your own.

Pro Debbie Matamoros is returning this year. Many of you may know her, not just for her years here at Solamere, but also from the Park City Pickleball Club. Contact her directly for lessons. There are also more details in the spring newsletter. SolamerePickleball@gmail.com or by phone at 310-850-9554.

Members can reserve court time by signing up for, and using, the Tennis Court and Pickleball Court On-Line Reservation System.

Friday mornings from 9:00-11:00 two courts are reserved for drop-in play. All levels are welcome to just show up and rotate into the games. Come meet your fellow members, get some exercise, and have fun!

Summer 2025 Tennis Program

So many courts! So many daylight hours to enjoy playing tennis!

See instructions above for using the Tennis Court and Pickleball Court On-Line Reservation System.

We're lucky to have two professionals available for teaching lessons again this summer. Our long-time staple on the courts, Bogdan "Bog" Badiu is back for another season. Please contact him directly at 239-285-3129 for information and to schedule lessons. Joining him this year is Parker Evertsen of Delray Beach, Florida. Although new to our area, he's not new to the sport, having played for Florida State University and taught following college. He can be reached at 678-386-6163.

For more complete bios on all the pros, please refer to the May newsletter sent by Marianne Meek.
