This Weekend

This weekend I am away at Age Group Trials with Halle, Sarah, Olivia and Brooklyn. Because of this practice will be at 4:00 with Chelby's group on friday. Saturday morning will be at 8:00 instead of 7:00 and will be swum with Braden's group. Sorry for this inconvenience, if you can't make it don't sweat it.

For the B's kids, warm-up for fridays relays are at 1:00 pm, so if you could be there by 12:45 it would be much appreciated. See you in Calgary.

Family Day

There will be NO practice on monday the 18th. Apparently family is a big deal...you all get off lucky. There will be a practice for those going to Age group trials on tuesday the 19th however. And on the note of age group trials, a big congratulations go out to Brooklyn Janzen for getting her time at the 10 & under series!!! Have a great holiday!

10 and Under Series, Volume 3

This Sunday is the third meet in the series. If everyone could be there by 1:45 to allow us coaches to breathe easier that would be great. If you know you will not be there please let me know prior to sunday. Make sure you bring your Silver Tide clothing to stay warm, and make sure you bring healthy snacks to keep you nourished (fries from the concession are delicious...but not healthy). See you on deck!

A challenge...

The world of a swimmer can be a difficult one. It's hard to impress your friends with a strong breaststroke kick, a fast fliptrun, or a great dive. One thing that never failed to impress my friends however, was my ability to do what can be seen in this video I found...



It takes a lot of practice...and definately not practice while I'm talking, but it would be a shame to put so many hours into the pool and never learn this skill. Unfortunately I have no idea to explain how it's done, you will all be on your own.

Warning

There has been some heavy policing of the Stop sign on your way into Millennium Place. Make sure you come to a complete stop...none of this rolling stop garbage. I don't see any of the other coaches trying to save you a dollar...
