Week 2
Let’s Review

We’re a couple of weeks in and by now everyone is fully entrenched in their routines and activities, and your kids know their schedule better than you do: Get up, have breakfast, go to lessons, apply sunscreen, eat (at the concession), sleep, repeat. There’s lots of activity this weekend too for Ladies’ Golf, a swim meet and Adult & Child Tennis.

When you’re at the club, check out the brand new community bulletin board when you come in!

Our facilities get a lot of use throughout the summer. Please do your part and throw any litter away in the proper bins, and look (but don’t touch) the beautiful gardens.

We 💚 CBSC and want to keep it looking this way!


SWIMMING

Our Comp Swim team had an incredible and scorching first meet of the season! The Cloverdale Tritons hosted us at Fleetwood Pool, and our swimmers truly shone. Congratulations to all our swimmers for competing fiercely and representing the CBSC “stroke” with pride. Many made it to finals and even reached the podium! Plus, everyone started racking up ‘Best Times’ points toward their coveted seahorse pins.

A huge thank you to our amazing coaching staff for organizing and kicking off our 8-week season with a splash. Let’s keep the momentum going!

Also, our Water Polo teams hosted the North Delta Sunfish for some fun scrimmages at our pool yesterday.
