Welcome Back!
Opening Day at the Creekside Cabana Club is just around the corner and our staff are already working to make your neighborhood pool a great place to be this summer! We're going to offer some new and fun activities including ‘Monday Movie Nights’ which will take place outdoors and ‘Throw Back Thursdays’ featuring oldie music and $1 rootbeer floats. We will also continue hosting celebrations at the club on some of our favorite holidays. We will kick it off opening month in May with our traditional Memorial Day BBQ and party, followed by 4th of July which will include games and hotdogs and then wrapping it up in September with our Labor Day festivities. This year we will also have "Staff Surprises" but you'll have to wait to see what these are!
We have also revamped our swim lesson program for this year!Lessons will start May 23rd so that you'll have 5 sessions to potentially choose from instead of 4. We have also added a "Mommy and Me" class and are super excited about our new swim lesson instructors! As always, you can arrange private swim lessons with any of our staff as well.
Speaking of staff, please let me introduce them to you:
Sue Peredo is returning as our pool manager. Bria and Trevor are returning as our assistant managers. Our returning lifeguards are Isabel, Marie, Jeremy, Zac, Ashley, Kayla, Katelyn, Amanda, Brandon, and Cori. In addition, we have two new lifeguards, Courtney and Brenna, whom we warmly welcome to our staff. We also have a brand new gate guard staff which includes Maddie, Ian, Hailey, Andy and Logan. Finally, we are excited to introduce our new swim lesson instructors, John, Ashely, Nate, Chelsea and Miranda. Together we aim to keep you safe and happy.
So come on down to the pool on Opening Day, April 30th, to meet the staff, check out our revamped "baby/small children play area" (a very big thank you our neighbors Sonali and JoAnn for donating their gently used Playskool outdoor structures), sign up for swim lessons, reserve the BBQ area for a summer party, and enjoy the pool. We look forward to serving you and making our Creekside Cabana Club the "Cool Pool". The pool will officially be open starting in May on weekends from 12-7 pm

Fellow Creeksiders-
Who is ready to get their feet wet? We are!!!! The fall and winter have been long with
plenty of sunny days where we all should have been in the pool! Well the season is right around the corner and we cannot wait to see you all poolside. We have some exciting changes this year including a new registration process and communication system that we are excited to work the kinks out of. The Cuda Board has been working hard all year to get things in order for a fun and exciting season. We have some additional Cuda nights planned including a Drive-In and Movie Night which are strictly about getting together and enjoying each other’s company. If you were not able to come to the Parent Information meeting, please come to try-outs (specifics on next page) for registration information and some further details.

A Note From Our Swim Coach Marissa:
Hi my name is Coach Marissa! This is my 5th season with Creekside. I am looking forward to welcoming back our returning Cudas and getting to know our new Cudas! This season our focus will be “technique 2.0” where we will get into deeper technique work throughout this season. During the off season, I coach for West Coast Aquatics as a year round coach for the Senior Bronze and Age Group Silver groups. I joined West 2 years ago in hopes of learning better coaching techniques and bringing them back to Creekside. My time at West was well spent and I'm glad to be back at Creekside bringing my new experience and knowledge to the team with the new staff. I'm happy to see many new, as well as familiar faces this year and I look forward to the 2016 season! "

The Creekside Cuda Swim Team is organized to provide fun and
recreation for young members of the Creekside Cabana Club.
The goal of the swim program is to enable our children to learn
competitive swimming and to learn to compete at a similar
level to the rest of the Cabana League in an environment that
builds self-esteem and confidence. The Swim Team also serves
as a focus for social interaction for both children and parents.

The 13th Annual SHARK CITY NATIONALS were held in San Jose on February 27th, 2016. Over 25 Creekside Dragon Cloud students participated in this prestigious event.
Competitors competed in Kata (forms), Kumite (point-fighting) and Kobudo (weapons) divisions. Several students competed in multiple divisions that day and took home more than one trophy for their efforts and participation. Three adult students were also in competition that day participating in forms and fighting.
These dedicated Karate students are amazing! To be able to go to a large event, compete in their divisions, get judged and scored by 3 black belt judges, and show the audience their best, is really an outstanding accomplishment.
Students practice their stances, punches, blocks, power, sequencing, and above all the ability to perform in front of lots of people and to calm their nerves. Students practice “ring etiquette” as well. Students in competition formally bow into the ring. They come up to the judges, stand strong, and say their name, the form they will be performing, and then ask for permission to begin. After they perform, they stay in the ring and the judges hold up score cards, reflecting the total points they received.
Sensei James and Deborah are very proud of these outstanding students who are dedicated to improving their karate skills. Congratulations Dragon Cloud!

Friday, December 18th, 2015, was a cold night. However, that was not enough to prevent the 4th Annual Creekside Neighborhood Holiday Walk from happening. Many families came out to walk the neighborhood, look at the lights and decorations, leave a little Thank You Treat at people’s doorsteps and socialize a bit. The walk started at the house by the bridge and ended at the Cabana Club for hot chocolate and treats. A very big "Thank You" goes out to Mylinh and Ben Chan and family, one of our newest Creekside neighbors. Mylinh organized ordering and getting Christmas trees delivered to the neighborhood for that extra special holiday touch. Many neighbors bought trees for the outside of their own homes while others donated trees and a wreath to decorate the Cabana Club. Thanks to everyone who came out and walked with us as well as those who took the time to decorate their homes. This is what makes Creekside such a great place to live!
