Week 2
Sun or Rain, We Won’t Complain
Happy Friday! The weather may have forced us to reschedule the Seahorse Picnic, but it didn’t dampen our spirits. Plenty of fun was had in Week One!
The next time you’re at the club remember to wear your green and white wristbands, check out the community bulletin board by the gates, and see what’s new at the Concession. There’s always something happening and lots of ways to get involved, so reach out to volunteer@cbswimclub.ca if you’d like to help.
It takes more than candy to make CBSC run. Our volunteers give their time and energy to make this club special, and the pool, our brand new tennis courts, and our grounds started the summer looking amazing thanks to our facilities and garden crew. Please do your part too, toss litter in the proper bins, and remind your kids to stay out of the gardens and to treat the club with care.
The eSeahorse is the best way to stay on top of what’s happening at CBSC each week. If you’re on the membership waitlist, please note that these emails won’t include waitlist updates. That info always comes directly from the Membership team, so no hard feelings if you’d rather unsubscribe.
Read on for what’s happening in Week Two and hope to see you at the Footraces and Pentathlon tonight!

REMINDERS
Concession
Concession is up and running with all the classics plus new additions this year. We’ve got coffee, hot chocolate, wraps, sandwiches, baked goods, pepperoni and cheese sticks, hummus and crackers, cheese strings, fig bars, and more. Keep an eye out, new items pop up all summer!
Open Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays 9am – 3pm (note: we are closed during Family Swim days).
Road Safety
Summer means more bikers around Crescent Beach, many of them young and still learning the rules of the road. Give yourself time in case of a train, don’t speed, and remember bikers and drivers share the road. We encourage drivers to stick to the main roads since our younger members often use the side streets to get to and from artistic swim. Thanks for keeping Crescent Beach safe for everyone!
