Recreation & Community Services <br />Recreation Division Highlights Page 1 of 4 Revised 04.2021 <br /> Recreation Division Highlights <br />Thursday, April 29, 2021 <br /> Sports Office at Hillcrest Center <br />Adult Cornhole League <br /> <br />Adult sports are back! Cornhole is our first adult sports league that we have been able to offer in <br />over a year. We have eight teams playing on Sunday nights. The league will run for six weeks (April 18 – June 6). Games are played at the Thousand Oaks Community Center on Soccer Field #1. After <br />two weeks of matches, all of the participants are happy to be out and playing sports again. <br />Aquatic Recreation <br />Aquatics offered two days of Try-Outs & Interviews this past month, one on Saturday, April 17 and <br />the other on Saturday, April 24. The tryout consists of a 500-yard freestyle swim, a 2-minute tread (with hands out of the water), a 150-yard medley swim (butterfly, backstroke, and breaststroke), <br />and 10 pull-outs where the candidates lift themselves out of the water and jump back in. <br />We had a very successful recruitment process this year, with 30 applicants successfully completing <br />the try-out and interview process. Our candidates will now attend Rookie School on Saturday, May 1, where we will evaluate their skills, communications, and teamwork. <br />In total we have 28 year-round staff, 16 returning staff, and 30 new hires, bringing our summer staff total to 74. We will continue to accept applications and hire additional lifeguards if needed <br />throughout the summer.
