Week 8
Hands Up for Fun, We Made Memories in the Sun!
What a summer it’s been! In the last week alone, we watched the incredible endurance of our Triathletes, boogied down on the new tennis courts, had an early morning scavenger hunt, and soaked up the infectious joy of the Synchro Show.
We want to thank our exceptional Swim, Tennis, and Sailing coaches, along with all our dedicated staff members from Facilities, Concession and the Office. Together, you made this a summer of magical memories for the kids at our Club.

TENNIS
Extra Fun Day Added, Aug 21st
Calling all kids 8 years and up! We are holding an extra Fun Day today on the courts from 12 – 3pm. The coaches will be running various games, including everyone’s favourite, Castle!
Tennis Awards Ceremony, August 22nd
Please join us from 3 – 4pm on the courts as we celebrate our young tennis and pickleball players and everything they’ve accomplished this summer.
Thank you for making great memories with us on the CBSC tennis courts!
SAILING
A wonderful time was had at last Saturday’s Regatta and BBQ, the perfect way to wrap up another season on the water. Thank you to our sailing coaches, volunteers, participants and everyone who came out to celebrate. It’s been an incredible summer of Sailing!
EVENTS & HAPPENINGS
Summer AGM Aug 21st
Join us tonight at 7:45 pm, shortly after the Footraces, as our committees and event organizers present their summer reports, in the form of poem, song, or dance. It’s one of our favourite CBSC traditions and always good for a laugh. Reminder to bring a chair and dress warmly. The parking lot gates close at 10pm
VOLUNTEER SPOTLIGHT
Thank You, Volunteers!
Christine Gustafson ran the Kids Triathlon like clockwork. Athletes swam, biked, ran, and had their prizes in hand by 10:30am. Rhys Edworthy delivered another wonderful Sally’s Shaker, with our smallest CBSCers dancing on the tennis courts with their favourite Seahorse. Heather Keighron and Craig Oldring hosted a fantastic Sandcastle Competition, with some incredible sandy creations.
A big shout out to Bob Armstrong, our Tanker and Gala announcer. Catch him in action on Sunday. Kate Lucyk will be serving hot chocolate to our tankers, then switching gears for one last lost and found clean up at the club. Come get your stuff. Thanks, Kate!
A special thank you to our committee members who kept Swim, Tennis, and Sailing running all summer, and to our gardening and facilities volunteers, who quietly keep everything from the flowerbeds to the docks in beautiful shape. Thanks as well to everyone signed up for a final concession or timing shift at Gala. You’re the best.
If you’d like to help out next summer, it’s never too early to get on our list. Email volunteer@cbswimclub.ca to be first in line for next year’s callouts.
See you at the last Footraces!
