Age Group Trials- 4 New Swimmers Going to Age Group Provincials
It was one of the best Age Group Trials I have attended. We had a number of swimmers making final swims and many, many best times. Over the weekend we had 3 new A qualifiers and one event winner. All earned them a trip to Age Group Provincials. Alli and Aaron achieved new A times in the 100 and 200 Breast, while Welton achieved a new A time in 50 Breast and also won the 200 Breast. Lauren swam a great 200 Fly to win that event and came 3 in the 400 IM.
They were not all the success of the meet. Other highlights include first time provincial finals from Maddi (6), Megan (3) and Caleb (3). All three were in the bottom of their age groups and are getting closer to A times in a few events with Maddi just missing the 50 Free. Piper and Marielle had great swims in the freestyle events to move up in their placings. We had three girls in the top 8 in the 13-14 800 Free with Alli, Sarah and Marielle all swimming great races.
Way to go swimmers! Congratulations to all!

BRRR!
It was cold, but we swam fast. Can't wait to see what the results are at the upcoming meets. Remember to take care of yourself this week as it was a long weekend.
Congrats to Haley for achieving her first A time in the 800 Free!

Silver Cup
It was a great weekend at the pool for Silver Tide swimmers. The club had three first time qualifiers with Greg making Age Group Nationals in 50 Fly and Welton and Megan W making Age Group Trials in the 200 IM and 400 Free respectively. It was also a weekend where many swimmers from the group tried and were successful in new events. We were heavily represented in the 400 IM and 200 Fly over the weekend. Everyone who did the events executed their race very well. It was great to see!
Over the weekend some of the highlights were many swimmers achieving 100% long course best times. List to come once results are posted.
New A times by Emma Funk in the 200 Free, 200 Back, 100 Back, 200 Breast and she is also getting closer to her Youth Recognition Time in the 100 Fly.
New A times by Brooklyn Janzen in the 200 Free and 200 Back.
New Youth Recognition Times Long Course by Rebecca Schamber (200 free) and Brooklyn (100 Fly).
Getting closer to A's we have Haley W and Alli H. Both are only a few seconds of their A' time in a number of events.
There are 2 or 3 more racing opportunities left for the season. Make the most of them.
Off to Red Deer, Age Group Trials, Team Time Trial and Age Group Champs we go!
Also I would like to welcome the new head coach to Silver Tide. He is taking over a great program with enthusiastic and hard working swimmers. Lets make sure to say hi and introduce yourself around the pool to Chris Nelson.

Full Speed Ahead
We are off to the races. The next few weeks are very busy for not only our group but all of Silver Tide. This weekend we kick it off with the Silver Cup, then Red Deer (think SUN!!), Age Group Trials, Team Fun Meet, and then last but not least Age Group Champs. Remember to wear your team clothes and to come ready to show off your improved skills.
STAY POSITIVE!This is the time of the year where illnesses, exams, projects, field trips and nicer weather can take its toll. Be sure to maintain a positive attitude, and know that all of your hard work will pay off, both in the pool and in life. Staying positive is not only a characteristic for a great and successful swimmer, but it will make you feel better, and it can uplift those around you. Your friend in the next lane might be feeling down, and your positive outlook could mean a lot in those difficult and trying sets. Be a positive influence in the group! Lets help each other finish the year off successfully.
T.E.A.M. – This stands for Together Everyone Achieves More. Pushing each other in workout, having a positive attitude, and cheering on your team makes everyone better.
STAYING HEALTHY!
This is the time of year we like to increase our load by enjoying the weather outside. Try to prevent illnesses by getting enough sleep, eating healthy, staying hydrated and by washing your hands. Unfortunately, even if you are doing all of the right things to stay healthy, those pesky bugs can still latch on and make you sick. If this does in fact happen, play it smart. Continue to eat healthy, increase your fluid intake, and for goodness sake, get MORE rest! It is much better to get that rest early on and get yourself back to normal, than to run yourself into the ground and end up having to miss several workouts or more. Also with track and outdoor events remember to wear your sunscreen and always carry your water bottle.
If you don't like something, change it. If you can't change it, change your attitude.
