Our new store is days away from completion.  Our last day of business in our existing location will be Saturday, July 24th.  We look forward to seeing you in our new location on Monday, July 26th. The new expanded store will be in the Medlock Bridge Shopping Center, just steps away from our existing shop across Wilson Road.

 
Our business hours, phone number, great service and website will remain the same.  We are basically switching parking lots!  We also hope you can join us for our Customer Appreciation Day on Saturday, August 7th, with events and food beginning at 8:00am through 7:00pm.
 
August 7th is also the date for the 5th Annual Peachtree Corners Swim & Racquet Club Kids' Triathlon.  We have been a sponsor of this event since its inception and are proud to be a part of such a great event that continues to grow each year.
 
See you across the street!

The event begins at 8:00 sharp.
 
This event is a fun, low-key neighborhood kids triathlon with a course very similar to last year.  This is an entry-level triathlon for kids ages 7-15.  Kids can enter as individuals or as a team.

COURSE:  The race begins at the PCS&R pool.  The transition area will be in the club's parking lot. The bike course is a 1.5 mile loop on Jones Bridge Circle and Fitzpatrick Way.  The run course goes along Jones Bridge Circle into the Simpsonwood Conference Center.  This is an out and back course.  The finish for all participants is the Revington pool parking lot.
 
VOLUNTEERS: The directors will need lots of volunteers to put on a fun and safe race!  All kids who race need at least one parent to volunteer with the race.  We encourage teenagers to volunteer as a great way to earn community service hours.  Please contact the race director to find out more details - hope to see you there!
