Junior Tennis Lessons
Session 1 of tennis lessons is underway at UB1, and despite the weather not being the most cooperative we think it’s been a great start to the year. We’re already looking ahead to Session 2, and would like any parents who’d like to sign their children up for tennis lessons to complete this form https://forms.gle/Gtk7DJdkmrgGuYFr7. Please complete the form by Thursday July 15 and we will have the schedule made up for Friday July 16.
A reminder that our head tennis instructor, Grady, is able to provide lessons to kids, teens and adults on a private or semi-private basis. Please text or call Grady at 226-792-4913 to inquire about his rates for lessons and availability.

Week Two Activities
A reminder that Single Digit Night is tomorrow night, July 9th (open to ages 7-9). Please email Abby at ub1guards@gmail.com to register for Single Digit Night and include your child’s name, age, and any allergies or conditions we need to be aware of.
Next week is Halloween Week at the pool! The guards are excited to host a Halloween parade on Tuesday, July 13th around the neighbourhood in place of our usual Halloween Night event. Members are encouraged to put on their best Halloween costume and parade around the neighbourhood. Guards will be stationed at various locations on the parade route and will hand out candy in a socially-distanced manner. The parade will begin at the pool and families will complete the route at staggered times to avoid large gatherings. Families will be required to sign up for a parade start time through the pool’s swim sign up form (Halloween Night will be listed as a type of swim). Sign up will be available starting Sunday July 11th. We are encouraging members who live in the UB1 area to decorate their lawns for Halloween! If you are participating in the parade, please bring a mask and follow social distancing protocols.
Fun in the Sun will be hosted at the pool on Wednesday, July 14th from 12-1pm. Come out for an hour of crafts, stories, and other activities!
Tween Night (open to ages 10-12) will be on Thursday, July 15th at 7pm at the pool. A poster and sign up sheet will be posted at the pool shortly! If you are attending, please bring a mask, bathing suit, towel, and water bottle.
Have a good weekend!
