Penguin Meet

It was a fantastic meet for two of the YD swimmers this past Saturday, November 7th at the Penguin Novice meet.

Both Georgia and Chantelle had some wonderful swims in the first meet of the season.

Chantelle swam through some tough races, including a 50 free where her goggles completely fell off, but she stayed focused despite some lane rope crashes and a very tight turn. Chantelle had best times in her 100 IM and her 25 Backstroke, and was only 0.1 seconds off of her best 50 Breast. Great swimming with only 17 workouts so far this season! Chantelle's hard work and focus really paid off in her technique in all 4 strokes. She looks like a brand new swimmer with great body position, body roll, and skills in her races. Way to go Chantelle!

Georgia also had some great swims at the Penguin meet, starting out the meet with a stellar 30.6 in the 50 free, and a solid 100 IM time of 1:18 to wrap up the meet. She also came very close to best times in the 50 Back and 50 Fly, and swam a 25 Breast to a rocket of a time of 18.98 seconds. Georgia was by far the best swimmer in the meet when it came to her underwaters, often crushing the competition by 3 meters off her turns. Great work!

This meet was a wonderful opportunity to spend some time with the girls between swims. Everyone at the meet had a good time, swam well, and is looking forward to the next meet. Hopefully, the YD will have more and more swimmers attending meets throughout the season, whether they are hosted by Silver Tide, or by other clubds throughout the province.

See you at the pool!
