Congratulations to Employee of the Month Ursula Thelin!
Ursula has been working in our Kids' Club for over a year, and everyone loves her! Her favorite part of working at ABAC is the positive energy she feels around the club. She feels all of the employees exemplify the work ethic of EPICC (Excellence, Passion, Integrity, Caring and Creativity) each day! In her spare time she likes playing with her granddaughters, hiking with friends, and gardening. Ursula had a fulfilling career in Early Child Development/Education for over 40 years before working at ABAC. We feel so blessed to have her sharing her experience and sweet spirit with our kids. Stop in and say hi the next time you are in!

AQUATICS
Summer is just around the corner! Memorial Day Weekend is our first official summer weekend, and it is when you'll see our lifeguards return. Our pools are going to be getting busier as the weather warms up and kids get out of school. Please remember that both of our pools are shared spaces that can be enjoyed by all of our members and guests, regardless of age. The following policies apply:
- Lane sharing is required when multiple people want to swim, especially if other classes are occurring in the pool. You can check our calendar posted on our website or outside of the fitness room to find times when the pool will be more lightly used.
- When lifeguards are on duty, kids under 12 are required to be out of all pools for a 10-minute break at the top of each hour.
- Children 14 and under must be directly supervised by a parent at all times.
- Kids under 43" tall MUST be wearing a life vest at all times, regardless of swimming ability.
Our summer swim lesson registration is now open! Lessons begin on June 10th and run Monday through Thursday every week of the summer until August 8, except for the week July 4th! We have time slots in the mornings and afternoons and a pack of 4 lessons is $65 for members or $89 for non-members.
We also are offering our Splashy Feet Swim Seminar from 11:30 – Noon on May 6, 10, 13, and 17th. This is a parent-and-baby type swim lesson where you'll learn techniques to get your little one comfortable in the water and ready for lessons. The cost is only $50 for members and $70 for non-members for all 4 sessions.
