Brendan, Connor, Sierra, Robyn, Ryan, Allison and Liam made the trip to Saskatoon for the first away swim meet of the year. From the meet came a number of great swims, lots of learning about were each and everyone of you are at early in this swim season. Make sure you walk away from every meet knowing what you have done well and what you can do to make yourself better.
Now those swimmers know where they are at and can better assess the goals that they have for the year. I am going to be doing another round of goal setting after everyone has been to a meet. Most likely after Poppy.

Welcome Back
It was great to see everyone back with all the excitement to start the new season. This week is going to be a little bit crazy! We will just have to use this week to get back in the water and then we can start to get into technique work and more base building swimming as the meets come up FAST. Just to let you know, I am only coaching you Monday and Tuesday. I am at a staff meeting on Wednesday and then away at a coaches conference for the rest of the week. I hope to learn some new things to bring back to the group. If you have any questions please email me at coach_kellie@silvertide.ca and if it is urgent and you need to contact me during the day you can email me at kellie.rolston@blackgold.ca (only for urgent questions). The best time to talk to me is before or after practice this year as I am teaching and coaching!
WELCOME BACK AND IT WAS GREAT TO SEE YOU ALL!

Getting into running
Hope that most, if not all of you have been attending the runs with Matt. I am teaching grade 3 this year full time and will make as many of the runs as I can.
Things to think about:
Things to think about:
- Group Goal Setting at Camp
- Swim meets start fast! What have you done to maintain your fitness?
- What did you see at the Olympics that you think will help you swim faster?
See you soon!
