November Wrap Up

It's unbelieveable to me that we are already wrapping up November and are heading into the holiday season! For anyone who is counting, only 14 more school days left until X-Mas break! ;)

It has been an absolutely fantastic month of swimming in the YD group. We have survived our first two meets, the Penguin Novice Series and our own Poppy Invitational (with well over 90% best times!!), and we are headed towards the end of this cycle's meets.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
November's attendance is as follows:

Georgia - 13/14
Roxanne - 13/14
Sharanya - 11/14
Rizal - 11/14
Chantelle - 10/14
Mark - 9/14
Jaci - 9/14

Hopefully, we are at the end of the 'sickness cycle' that this month brought. Remember to stay hydrated, to eat nutritious foods, get plenty of sleep, and to wash your hands! Let's go for a higher percentage of attendance in December!

Upcoming Meets

1. As many of you know, the JP Fiset meet has instilled qualifying times for the meet this year, and unfortunately for everyone at STSC, we have people affected by this as well. For Fiset, you may also only swim for events you are qualified in. This time around:

Mark - swimming Fri., Sat., Sun.
Roxanne - swimming Sat.
Chantelle - swimming Fri., Sat., Sun.
Georgia - swimming Fri., Sat., Sun.

I will post individual events by day of the meet a little later in the week.

2. The EKSC Vorgee meet (December 11, 4 - 8 p.m. at Bonnie Doon Pool) is an opportunity that has been presented to us in lieu (or in addition for some swimmers) of the Fiset Meet. All swimmers in our group who are 14 & Under are eligible for this meet. I have received some confirmations on attendance thus far. If you have not responded back, please email the Head Coach, Chris Nelson at chris.nelson@silvertide.ca to confirm if you are, or aren't, attending this additional racing opportunity.

December Schedule

Our last practice prior to the holiday break is on Saturday, December 12 at our regularly scheduled time. A new schedule that will involve Christmas Training times (around the 28th of December) will be posted on the website shortly. Stay tuned! I will also send out an email in regards to times and practice days as soon as they are available.

Have a great holiday season everyone and see you on deck!
