Cancer Well-fit Annual Fundraiser
Friday, July 19
(During Happy Hour)
6-8 pm
The gift basket raffle and silent auction takes place in the club's lobby, the entire week before July 19!
The club is celebrating 12 years of hosting the non-profit program, Cancer Well-fit! We invite all of you to the celebration!
We are especially grateful to our faithful sponsor, The Avila Beach Community Foundation , for its ongoing support and matching grant program. Our alliance with ABCF makes it possible for more people diagnosed with cancer to experience a personalized exercise and wellness program during their recovery. Thank you Avila Beach Community Foundation for every dollar you donate! This year, Cancer Well-fit will receive up to $4,000 in matching funds from ABCF, so we're hoping to raise at least that much from the raffle sales of our 12 beautiful baskets full of goodies, as well as some special silent auction items. Raffle tickets are $5 each.
Come be part … dine, dance, drink and help us bring awareness and funding for Cancer Well-fit, July 19 on our patio!Cheers,The Cancer Well-fit Team

You may have seen Coco doing one of her swim lessons or lifeguarding by the beautiful pool. She has worked at ABAC for just over a year now and her favorite part about working here is the family dynamic between the members and employees. Everyone is so sweet and welcoming and she truly feels like it is a family whenever she is here. Coco enjoys painting and playing with her dogs during her free time.

WHY HAVING A PERSONAL TRAINER IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN YOUR ACCOUNTANT!
You hire someone to manage your money but what good is it if you don't have the health to enjoy what it does! Your health is your greatest asset and what better way to keep you in the best shape than having that personal coach by your side to ensure you are reaching your full potential. Just ask one of our members who use a trainer on a regular basis. They will tell you how invaluable it is to have someone to keep you accountable and away from health issues.
5 GREAT REASONS
1) Faster and better results – Personal trainers will make sure you get the most out of your time for the fastest results possible.
2) Proper fat loss and muscle gain – Most people have a goal that incorporates both of these things. It is sometimes hard to balance exercises to get the best result.
3) Reduce chance of injury – Proper form and technique make all of the difference in staying safe and injury free. Especially as we age.
4) Establish a lifetime of exercise habits – Personal trainers can help you overcome obstacles that might prevent you from exercising.
5) Overcome plateaus – Trainers can help you when you are not seeing the results you expect and help you push through when you get frustrated.

Swimming Pools
We're in full-on summer mode now!
Please remember that we have a large pool and a small pool (not an adult vs. kids pool). All ages are always welcome in both pools.
Please keep in mind the following pool etiquette:
- Lanes in the large pool are ALWAYS shared resources. Before jumping in to swim, please make sure your lane mate knows you are entering, and make sure there is no one else on deck who may be waiting to swim.
- Remove your band-aids and throw them away before swimming. No matter what the box says, they will NOT stay on in the pool. Wet band-aids on the pool deck are gross.
- Please refrain from eating or drinking in the pools and hot tubs. No one wants to soak with French fries!
Swim Program Updates
- There are a few spots left in our summer group swim lesson program. This is for kids ages 4 and older. If you miss the sign ups or the dates don't work for you, we always offer private lessons at any time the club is open.
- Splashy Feet Swim Seminar: July 15, 19, 22, and 26 from 11:30 – Noon. This is for babies and toddlers aged 6 months to 2 ½ years old.
- Breaststroke Workshop: July 12th from 10:15 – 11:15am. Coach Colby will help you learn this easy stroke or improve your technique if you already know it.
Contact Mitch in our Aquatics Department to sign up for any of these fun programs!
