Due to exams and Coach Jamie’s absence, there will be NO PRACTCIE FOR the Jr. or Sr. SHARKS group in the final week of June, (June 28 – July 2nd). Coach Jamie will be leaving for Cuba next week Thursday for the Caribbean Island Swimming Championships along with THREE of your teammates. Runako Daniel, Julien Brice and Team Captain Siona Huxley, will once again represent St. Lucia at this Regional Championship Meet.
Please keep them in your thoughts and share all your good energy with them.The lEarn to Swim Group will be having their last lesson on June 29th. Coach Tom will be leaving for the summer on that day, so Coach Sebastian and Coach Filamina will be having the last session.
As notified before in our last update email, practice will resume for 2 weeks in July from July 5 – July 16. If your SHARK decides to participate in July practice, the regular monthly fee will be prorated 50%. Thus fees will be half of what you usually pay per month. Refer to Coach Tom’s email which will be coming.
Since we operate as a club on an 11 month year, there will be NO SHARK practices from July 16 – August 15. I strongly recommend that all swimmers enjoy the break away from swimming, and have some fun with their friends and family.
Practice will resume on August 16 and the fee structure will be the same as July, (as stated above). We will be using the final 2 weeks in August to prepare our swimmers for the annual end of summer swimmeet, Summer Splash, (Aug. 26-28).
Due to his commitment to the Saint Lucia National Youth Olympic team, Coach Jamie will not be present for practices in August or at Summer Splash, however, our SHARKS coaching team will be prepared to handle all coaching duties at practices and at the swim meet.
There will be another Coaches Clinic in August (Aug. 4 – 12) put on by SLASA. This will be a FREE CLINIC and we will like all swimmers and parents who are TRULY INTERESTED in becoming a Sharks Jr. or Assistant Coach to participate. The clinic will be conducted by TI Coach Kim Bade, who was a great help to all our local coaches last year, and we hope for an even more exciting and informative clinic this year. Please contact Coach Jamie (peterkinjamie@yahoo.com or 287-7321) for more information about the clinic.
Swimmers will be invited to work with coaches during the TI Clinic from Aug. 9-12, and Coach Jamie has asked that all Sr. swimmers and Jr. swimmers who practice at least 3 times per week consider participating. As of now, the schedule indicates that the swimmers will practice with the coaches from 7 a.m. – 9 a.m. Please be advised that when details are finalized, we will email you about it.
That’s it for now. Good Luck to all SHARKS who have exams. Remember to eat well, get your rest, and be confident. If you have no confidence in the race of life, then you are twice defeated. WITH CONFIDENCE, you have already won before the race has even started.
IT’S SUMMER TIME SHARKS!!!
Coach Jamie
