Moncton Meet
(for T3, T4, and Regional parents)
Hello Parents,
I have heard back from most of the parents regarding the Quebec trip and I am sad to report that we do not have enough interest to attend the meet.
The Quebec meet was scheduled to be our big taper meet for the end of this training cycle. Our swimmers have been training extremely hard and are ready for the rest for a big meet. Also, the Quebec meet was going to be our last opportunity for our swimmers to qualify for the provincial team. Since Quebec is a no go, Dave and I would like to offer another meet that is closer to home, for those swimmers wishing to race
There is a meet in Moncton on December 17-19, 2010. This is a timed finals meet where swimmers can swim a maximum of 8 events.NB "B" standards are needed and we do have many that are eligible to attend.
Here is what we are offering:
#1: Swimmers go over to Moncton on Saturday AM and compete Saturday only.
#2: Swimmers go over to Moncton on Saturday AM and spend one night and compete both Saturday and Sunday.
Tanya Tynski have offered to chaperone for this meet so we can make arrangements for travel and hotels together to keep the cost to a minimum.
Can you please let me know by Monday, November 29 if a.) you are interested in going to this meet and b.) are you interested in travelling/staying together?
Thanks everyone! Looking forward to hearing back from you! email contact is:

Fall Splash
Well another successful Fall Splash is behind us. Thanks to everyone who ran the computer, prepared food, officiated, time keepers, set up of the pool, runners or anything else I'm forgetting. It takes many volunteers to run a successful meet and it is much appreciated. I also sent a big thank you to the Moncton and Charlottetown clubs for filling in the spots that we were short on people. It would be great for us to return the favour when called upon.
Thanks again.
Kirk Steele
SDSC President.
Thanks again.

Tier 3 Practice Time Change
Hello Tier 3 Parents!
As noted on the schedule that you received at the beginning of the year, the Tier 3 practice schedule was going to have a change. Please note the change....
Tuesday's practice from 4:00-5:30 has been rescheduled to Mondays from 4:00-5:30. So they will now have Tuesdays off instead of Mondays for the reminder of the season.
Thanks!

Great To Be Back!!
Hello Everyone,
Well, today was the day...I left my little munchkin at home and had my first practice back, and it was an early one at that! I was so thrilled to be back on the deck to see all the swimmers. I have many new faces in my group so it was nice to connect with them and get a peek at where everyone is at in their training which by the way, they are all in super duper shape! This mornings practice was fantastic! It took me a few minutes to remember how to work my watch but I quickly got into the swing of things! HAHA!
I am very excited for the meet this weekend. I know we are going to have a pile of super fast swims! Also, I just wanted to make a note that I will spending allot of time observing this weekend at the meet, taking notes on where the swimmers are at and where to go from here. If you have any questions about the training, meet schedule, or just want to touch base, feel free to come and chat with me. I know I haven't been as available as I normally am at the beginning of the season so please, come and chat :o)!
I also wanted to take this time to acknowledge our coaches. Many of them have filled in for me over the past two months. Thank-you so much for all of your hard work and dedication to the team. I would not have been able to stay home with Mya for the past two months if it wasn't for you guys so a sincere THANK-YOU. I really enjoyed my extra time at home.
Looking forward to the great season ahead! See you tomorrow on the deck!
