Sorry Swimmers. Everyone out of the water!

On Friday, Oct 12, BookSwim.com will be down until early Saturday morning (Friday night-ish for you Vampires). What you’ll see is the entire new website – BookSwim 2.0. This, my friends, is the update you all have been waiting for.

On Saturday, you’ll see that the new website looks quite different from the current version and we want you to feel free to play around. Unlike a museum, do try to break things, and report back to us so that we can get any bugs fixed right away.

I’m sorry about the inconvenience this may have caused you… especially all you new signups anxious to start Swimming.

Some of you with large queues (you know who you are) may not see your queue intact on Saturday. That’s okay — the data just takes awhile for it to be ported over. If you don’t see your queue (which by the way, we now call a Rental Pool), you can still add new books. When your queue — errrrr, Pool — finally shows, you’ll see your newly added books at the end.

Question: Now that a Queue is a Pool, should we start calling the top and bottom of your queue the Shallow and Deep Ends? No, that goes too far. This is not PunSwim.
