We have heard from just over 50% of members and would like to hear from all member households, regardless of how often your household has used the UB1 facilities. We value your input! Thank you to those members who have already participated.&nbsp;<strong>The survey closes this Wednesday, July 22nd.<\/strong><\/li><li>The survey takes less than 5 minutes to complete. Please have only one adult member fill out the survey on behalf of your household.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Swim lesson sign-up- Thursday, July 23rd<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Swim lesson sign up for August will take place on Thursday, July 23rd starting at 4:00pm on the basketball court. As per the July session, swim lesson sign up will act to assess interest in swimming lessons for session 2 that will start the week of August 3rd. Please note that the lifeguards will not be able to provide you with the dates and times of your child\u2019s swimming lessons on Thursday. The guards will use the swim lesson sign- up information to determine the number of classes needed per level. The aim is to maximize the number of lessons per child.&nbsp; A schedule of lessons will be available the week before August swim lessons start.<\/li><li>Please remember that for all levels under Splash 6B&nbsp;a guardian will be required to be in the water for each child. The guardian can be a parent, older sibling, or babysitter who is above the age of 12 and is a confident enough swimmer to support the child in their lesson- this will be at the discretion of the instructor.<\/li><li>Please attend in person (please remember to wear a mask) to sign up your child(ren) for swim lessons to allow for any discussion required to ensure your child is placed in the right swimming level. Phone call sign ups at 519-725-5385 will be accepted only if you are unable to sign up in person. Due to the volume of correspondence, email will not&nbsp;be accepted for lesson registration.&nbsp;<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Reminders<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Tuesday and Thursday nights at 6:00pm are reserved for adult swims. Families who would like to swim those evenings are encouraged to come to the pool at 5:00pm or 7:00pm.<\/li><li>In case of inclement weather, guards will be posting pool closure and re-opening times on the UB1 Facebook page. Visit&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/upperbeechwood1\">https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/upperbeechwood1<\/a>.

Email us your pictures at <a href=\"mailto:ub1guards@gmail.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">ub1guards@gmail.com<\/a>. Below are the instructions for the experiments:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><br><strong>First experiment &#8211; Pepper in water: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=ho0o7H6dXSU\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=ho0o7H6dXSU<\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>You will need pepper, a plate, water and dish soap.<\/li><li>Pour some water into the plate.

You may want to use your hands.<\/li><li>Play with it! Notice how you can slowly put your hand through it, but when you squeeze, it feels like a solid!<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><br><strong>Wild Card Wednesday<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This week for Wild Card Wednesday, share your favourite science fact with the guards.
