It’s time to start planning for fall! Sportball Vancouver & The Lower Mainland fall registration starts THIS WEEK!

We love how Sportball inspires kids to try new activities and enjoy the fun of sport in a non-competitive way. A great way to build on the energy from the Olympic Games is to get registered for a fall multisport program!

➡️ Visit https://sportball.com for all the details!

⚽️ 🏀 Be sure to follow them for updates.

Splish, splash! 🏊‍♀️

Finally! Will you be hitting the pool this week? 🌊👀

Vancouver's Kitsilano Pool is reopening Wednesday after months of uncertainty and local outcry. The pool has closed periodically since a 2021 storm caused major damage and was expected to remain closed all summer due to a significant leak. However, a short-term solution was found to reopen the pool for this summer. Future plans include building a new facility. 🏨 🏊

One of our favourite Olympics moments! 😍

Simone Biles and Jordan Chiles literally bowed down to Brazilian gymnast Rebeca Andrade on the podium as she claimed first place in the gymnastics floor final.

Apparently Simone said that Jordan asked Simone, "Should we bow to her?" And Simone replied, "Absolutely."

“It was just the right thing to do.”

Can you just imagine?

Can you just imagine if women ALWAYS cheered for each other so enthusiastically, so boldly, so unapologetically, so joyfully, so selflessly?

Can you just imagine if women didn’t feel threatened by each other’s successes and used them instead as motivation?

Can you just imagine if women supported other women, simply because “it was just the right thing to do?”

This. Is. Everything.

And this is why I love the Olympics—because we don’t look to them just as an example of what we could be as athletes, we look to them as an example of what we could be as humans.
