As the sun graces the sky with its warm embrace and the days stretch out into long, lazy afternoons, it’s the perfect time to come together as a community and celebrate the joys of summer. What better way to welcome summer to Columbia Town Center than having fun with your loved ones and neighbors? From lively block parties to relaxing outdoor movie nights, there is bound to be something to bring the neighborhood together. Here are a few ways you can welcome summer to Columbia Town Center.
Beat the Heat at the Pool
There’s nothing better than jumping into a cool, refreshing pool on a hot day. Swimming is not only a fun summer activity but also great exercise for the whole family. The Columbia Association Aquatics Team has all 23 pools open! CA’s aquatic facilities provide year-round pools for recreational swimming and laps, swimming lessons for all ages and abilities, aqua fitness classes, and competitive swim leagues (Columbia Clippers, Columbia Masters, and our summer swim league). You can even rejuvenate in our warm water therapy pool. All CA Play memberships include access to outdoor pools during the summer and the Columbia Swim Center’s indoor pools to keep you splashing, sliding, and swimming all year long. For more information about free resident swim days and pool schedules, visit CA’s Aquatics website.
Try Some Delicious Food
