 2018 Guest Passes

Thank you for your patience with the pool project!

The 2018 guest pass policy will be the same as last year, with us keeping track of your two free passes per month. The member must be present with their guest, and sign at the front desk for the pass use.
We want to thank you for your patience with the pool project by offering all members an extra two guest passes during the month of January. So in January, you get FOUR passes!

Congratulations to Our New Members of the Month!

Congratulations to the new Members of the Month Tracy Steele, Finn Steele, and Michelle Adams! Tracy and Michelle have been members at the club for about four years now. Tracy is a director of student services for Stanford online high school and Michelle is an operations manager for Ancient Nutrition, where they produce nutritional supplements. Finn is eight years old and in third grade. When they are not at the club they love to go snowboarding, hiking, and camping. Tracy and Michelle like to go surfing on their time off, while Finn also likes to play video games. The whole family enjoys playing tennis and the fun in the Kids’ Club. Their favorite things about the club are the staff, cleanliness, Tracy enjoys the yoga classes, Finn enjoys the Kids’ Club, and they all enjoy swimming. Congratulations again on being our Members of the Month! We are so happy to have you as part of the ABAC FAMILY!

 

Congratulations to Our New Employee of the Month

Congratulations to our new Employee of the Month Jamie Maita! Jamie has worked in the Kids’ Club for over a year now, and is really great with all the kids. She is currently in school studying child development. Jamie moved here from Livermore about a year ago to attend school. When Jamie is not at work she babysits, enjoys going to the beach, and goes on hikes. Jamie’s favorite thing about the club is how friendly the members and staff are. She has been a great asset to our team and we are grateful for her. Congratulations again to Jamie Maita for being our new Employee of the Month!

Happy 2018!

Your dietary needs are as unique as your fingerprints. Discover your body’s perfect fuel mix with Metabolic Typing®.
There is no "one size fits all" approach to eating healthy foods!

Foods themselves are not good OR bad. Dietary solutions need to be tailored to individuals, because what works for one person may have no effect on another person, and may make a third person worse.

As an example: Eskimos thrive on very large quantities of fat while people born in the tropics stay healthy eating fruits, grains and other light vegetarian fare.

The goal of Metabolic Typing® is to eat for your biochemical individuality -allowing you to build and restore health at the cellular level. Individual attention is necessary to provide understanding of YOUR specific metabolic patterns.
. Prevent and reverse chronic illness
. Optimize your physical energy and your mental clarity
. Lose weight naturally and maintain your ideal weight
. Strengthen immunity
. Slow down the aging process
. Enhance athletic performance
. Overcome mood swings and depression

Call Connie Rutledge CNC today at 805-440-6869 to schedule and get balanced today!

2018 is YOUR year!

Let’s make 2018 your best year yet! Set your fitness goals on fire and join us in one of our new Small Group Trainings!

We have several to choose from with very qualified trainers. They begin the week of January 15th so the timing is perfect! You must sign up at the front desk! There is no better investment than your health.

Our new schedule will begin January 15th as well. Look for some fun, new classes and be sure to join us for our annual open house on January 20th for some sample classes that day!

Spa Department

Are you ready to start the New Year off right with Avila Bay Athletic Club & Spa. We are ready to schedule your Spa Day! Those gift cards will come in handy when you book your Spa Appointments.

Schedule a monthly Massage, Facial, Pedi and Mani and New Hair Color. The weeks go by quickly so if you book an appointment ahead of time, you can look forward to it every month!

Put yourself at the top of the list this year. The old adage is true; we really can’t help others until we help ourselves. Taking care of yourself and striving to reach your own goals will make you a better spouse, friend, child, and parent. Our examples have a far greater impact on those around us than anything we might say, and taking care of your own health and well-being means you’ll be around longer for your loved ones too!

Be sure to make time for yourself each day to work toward your goals, or to attain the lifestyle you want.

Give yourself the gift of relaxation, you deserve it!

Aquatics Department

Happy New Year! As I write this newsletter entry, we are in the final stages of getting our pool done. The deck is complete, the pool has been sanded, and they are just getting ready to put the fiberglass liner on the bottom; it won’t be long before we have our fabulous pool ready for all of you to enjoy! I know everyone is really looking forward to it, and I wanted to take a minute to remind everyone of our pool etiquette tips so that all of our members and guests can enjoy the pool:

1. The pool is a shared resource. I, myself, love having my own lane to swim in, but please remember to be courteous to others. If all of the lanes are occupied, you can split the lane, but please let the person currently in the water know that you are entering the lane and agree on which side each of you will take. If there are two people already in all lanes, it is acceptable to have 3 in a lane and to circle swim. Again, please notify your lane mates prior to entering a lane.
2. The lane closest to the tennis courts is reserved for free swim. It may be used by children (with parents or guardians nearby!), aqua-jog, lessons, or by anyone who prefers not to swim laps. All other lanes are for lap swimming use by all ages.
3. The deep end is the only safe place for diving. If someone is occupying a lane, please do not dive in until they are well out of your way, or give them a head’s up that you plan to dive in.
4. Sun block works best when applied at least 20 minutes prior to entering the pool. Doing so will prevent it from washing off right away and will also help keep our water clean and clear.
5. Please enjoy all food and drinks outside of the pool. Water is ok to drink in the pool. Remember to keep all glass containers away from the pool deck where bare feet like to hang out.

A little bit of courtesy will go a long way to keeping our pool environment pleasant and inviting to everyone!

In January, I have some aquatics and safety classes for adults and children as well:

• Adult and Pediatric CPR/AED. This class is offered on January 13th from 3:30 – 7:30. The cost is only $50, or $30 if you do not need the certification card.
• Parent-and-Me: This class will help you get your baby or toddler (6 months to 2.5 years old) better prepared for swim lessons. The class includes four 30-minute sessions on Mondays and Fridays beginning January 15th. The cost is $50 for members and $70 for non-members.
• Children’s After-School Swim Academy: I have two sessions, each with four 30-minute lessons on Tuesdays and Thursdays. The first session starts January 16th; the second session starts January 30th. The cost is $65 for members and $85 for non-members.

Please see our website or fliers around the club for more info, or you can contact me in the Aquatics office at 805-595-7600 x111 to sign up as well.

I look forward to seeing everyone at the pool in the New Year! - Mitch

We are so happy to see that he comes to play with us every week!

We have kids fitness classes, swim lessons, swim team, tennis for kids, Parents Night Out, etc. And Kids’ Club itself does some fun thing throughout the year like a book exchange, pizza party, end of Summer ice cream social, etc.
Please feel free to contact Bre with any questions or concerns, or even just to say hello!
