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.
