Annual CSB Swim Night - Nov. 23

Hmmm, what do we do now?


Tackling each other into the water, being told by the lifeguards not to hang on the ropes (sorry, we forgot) and of course the ladder challenge. All time honored traditions that happen once a year when we have our swim night.

This year we added a couple new things too. Like watching the man who decided to throw the ball we were using to the other end of the pool while we all watched and wondered what was going on. We also found out that Moms with toddlers are like mother bears with their cubs (and rightly so) when we run towards them to retrieve the ball. We really are friendly you know, just a little competitive. Sorry if we scared you!

Looks like a belly flop in the making Lieutenant Matt!
But of course the best part of the night was the ladder challenge. As you can see in the photos below, the challenge is to climb up the rope and then pull yourself across the ladder before the guy on the other side of you can. It's not 'life or death' but it is definitely for bragging rights until next year.

So you are probably wondering who was the fastest across? Well, let's just say that both of the Stein brothers challenged Lieutenant Marv. The outcome? Well, the lifeguard watching and acting as unofficial judge put it best when Marv won both times and even proclaimed to Nathan, "he just kicked your butt!" Old guys still rule, enough said. 
Is he walking on water there? No wonder he was so fast!
