Blue Bear

With Christmas training over, it was time for the group to show what all the hard work was for. The meet was a great success for all the Senior Development group. New standards were met by Matt Whiteside (13 year old A), Jasmin Hillman (13 year old A) and Aaron Vanderleek (13 year old 200 IM QT). Walking away with aggregates from the group was Kevin (12 year old boys) and Brendan (13 year old boys).


Over the weekend I saw a lot of good racing. Lots of racing from within the group with the meet being small I had many heats with over 3 swimmers from the group involved. Everyone was racing hard, going out after their swims and seeing the results when they did so! Liam, Aaron, Matt and Lauren all walked away from the weekend with 100% best times and a number others came very close. With big drops in events by many people.

Once again I am going to remind you of the importance to showing up to practice all the time, planning your schedule well, remember that when you are at practice on the land and in the water it is a chance to improve yourself each and every time. We are moving into our championship part of the season with Novice Series Feb 14, Age Group Trials Feb 20-22, NCSA Meet March 7-8 at the Foothills pool in Calgary, and then Age Group Champs in Calgary March 19-22.

We have been great, lets keep it up!
