PNS All-Star Selection

PNS All Stars (Age 11-12 and 13-14)
 
Congratulations are in order for six BCST swimmers (age 11-12 and 13-14) who competed in the PNS All-Star meet January 5th and 6th in Santa Rosa, Calif.  

The meet took the top swimmers from PNS, Oregon Swimming, Pacific Swimming (northern California) and Southern California Swimming, creating the fastest age group swimming on the west coast.
 
It's an honor to be chosen for the all-star team, with only the top eight swimmers chosen from each swim association, from the boys and girls ages 11-12 and 13-14. 

PNS took third place overall, narrowly missing 2nd to Pacific Swimming.   

BCST is proud of our swimmers for not only representing the team, but Pacific Northwest Swimming, as well.

Fall Basketball League Champions

By Basketball Coordinator Brian Brown

Congratulations to Team Bacon on capturing the Bellevue Club Fall basketball league championship. The team, captained by league veteran Tony Bacon, took home the crown with a hard fought 84-79 victory over Team Ross, led by captain PJ Ross.

It was a very competitive league, and all of the teams had a chance going into the playoffs. Again, a special congrats to the guys from Team Bacon.

Celebrate Valentine's Day



Valentine’s Day incorporates all kinds of love—not just the romantic kind. So if you have a family of little ones, or a group of great friends, celebrate together. Below are five ideas to get you started.

1. Cook a Family-Style Meal: Gather everyone together for a big meal (you like this during Thanksgiving, right?) and enjoy each other’s company while eating yourself silly. You can make it a potluck, a dessert-only affair, a wine bottle trade or anything themed. Whichever you choose, make it fun.

2. Have a Movie Night In: Either with your kids or your pals, don your most comfortable sweat pants and prepare for a triple feature. You can make Valentine’s cookies beforehand, or indulge in chocolates and candy hearts. Spending the evening on the couch is much more relaxing than heading out to a crowded restaurant anyway.

3. Explore Your City: There are dozens of local tours in Seattle—from brew tours, to chocolate tours, to scenic Seattle tours. There’s no limit to your options. You could even buy tickets to a special theater production. Besides, all of that walking will help burn off the chocolate intake.

4. Get Competitive: Plan a game night at home, or go out and race go-karts. Head to a restaurant that features arcade games with your friends, or play mini golf with the kids.

5. Volunteer: Valentine’s is all about spreading the love, so why not give this back to others? Pitch in with Habitat for Humanity, donate clothing to Bellevue LifeSpring, walk dogs at an animal shelter or help out an elderly neighbor with housework. Doing kind things for others will warm your heart.
