Dear UB1 members,
Happy first week of lessons and official kick off to summer! Please see below for information about swimming and junior tennis lessons and all the fun activities planned for this first week of summer at UB1.
Please note that questions regarding lessons for swimming should be directed to our Pool Manager, Lia, at ub1guards@gmail.com and questions about tennis lessons should be directed to our volunteer Tennis Director, Andrea, at upperbeechwood1tennis@gmail.com.
Pool News
- Free swim hours are now 1:00pm to 9:00pm on weekdays and 11:00am to 9:00pm on weekends.
- Morning lane swims begin on July 4. Please see the UB1 calendar. Note that Sunday morning lane swim from 11am-11:30 and 11:30-12pm is only in half the pool, the other half of the pool is free swim. No registration is required.
- Session 1 swimming lessons start on Monday, July 4th. The lesson schedule is posted at the pool. Please email ub1guards@gmail.com for any questions. Please see the chart at the end of this newsletter for the swimming lesson instructor schedule.
- The guards are planning the Halloween Trick or Treating Night route (July 11th around 6:30or 7pm to 8 pm). If any member in the UB1 neighbourhood would like to have their house as a stop on the route (it is so fun to see the kids dressed up and a guard can/will be assigned there), please email ub1guards@gmail.com.
- The UB1 guard team kindly ask parents and kids to put away any pool noodles, flutter boards or toys when they are done so that they are easily accessible for anyone else who would like to use them. It is also a big help to the guards.
Please see the Week One Activities section below for the pool activities this week including a family movie night and Single Digit night!
Tennis News
Junior Tennis Lessons
Sign-up for junior tennis lessons has now ended, although for consideration of any sessions beyond July 15, please email upperbeechwood1tennis@gmail.com to discuss adding child(ren) individually. Schedules for the first two weeks of classes will be emailed out this weekend. Please let our Tennis Director, Andrea, know at upperbeechwood1tennis@gmail.com if there are any conflicts with swimming lessons so she can make adjustments asap. Enrollment was high these first two weeks so classes are very full, although mostly capped at 8 participants per session.
Lessons will run from 9:30 to 12:30 from July 4 to 8, but we needed to extend the lesson time from 9 am to 12:45 pm the week of July 11 to 15 because of high interest that week. We have ensured that each child has at least 4 lessons in a 1 week period, or 7 lessons over a two week period.
See you on the courts!
