SWIMATHON 2010 IN AID OF VICTIMS OF HURRICANE TOMAS

The SHARKS Swim Club invites the general public to support the 2010 SWIMATHON in aid of VICTIMS OF HURRICANE TOMAS, to be held on Saturday 4th December at the Rodney Heights Aquatics Center.

Last year the Swimmers raised over $8,000 in aid of Dainelle Gaston, a 15 year old boy needing heart surgery. The swimmers so enjoyed the opportunity to swim for charity that this year initially decided to swim for children with cancer.

Unfortunately, the passage of Hurricane Tomas brought a lot of devastation to Saint Lucia and now the Swimmers are committed to raising funds for the victims of Tomas, by participating in the Swimathon to be held in two weeks time.

Members of the public are asked to pledge $1 for every 25m lap of the pool that is swam by the participant in the Swimathon. Schools are encouraged get their students to get involved. Cheques may be made payable to the “SHARKS Swim Club – for victims of Tomas”

Business Houses are also encouraged to participate by pledging $10 for every lap swam by their employee in the Swimathon.

For further information, please contact any Club swimmer or visit the SHARKS Swim Club website at www.sharkswimclub.info or telephone Secretary Tom Speigelberg on 287 7260.

Sincerely

John Bruce

President

Just for fun

Warning from NEMO

People are scamming, pretending to be NEMO and CID asking people to evacuate their houses and they take that opportunity to rob the people's homes and vehicles! 

The only place that people were asked to evacuate was Fond St. Jacques.

Please spread the word!!! 

This is happening in Bexon and other areas!! Keep an eye out!

PASS IT ON

Pool Reopening

Hello all,

Dr Worrell has informed us that the pool will be open.  She has plenty of rainwater and chlorine for swimming!

We will plan a regular schedule next week.

Also, here is a note from Dr. Day about treating your rainwater.

"Its important to all strain rain water.  Use a double layer of tight woven cotton to strain the water.  Bacteria clings and hides in particulates
so u need to remove the particulates for  the chlorination to be effective."

God bless,

Coach Tom

OECS Swimming Championships Postponed

It is with great regret that SLASA has had to make the decision to postpone the OECS Swimming Championships due to the passage of Hurricane Tomas and the ensuing water shortage. No new date has been given so far.

Safe Drinking Water

Follow these guidelines to make water safe to drink

Pool Training

Hello all,

as the water situation is still critical, Diane Worrel has told us that the pool will not be open the remainder of this week.  WE will let you know on a week to week basis.  The next update should be on Sunday.

Senior swimmers will continue training with Jamie as announced.  I will send out the plan for today once Jamie has checked out the beach swimming. 

God bless,

Coach Tom

Donations for Soufriere

Hello all,

Two opportunities to help out down south. 

Earlier today I sent out a note that Tropical Villas was accepting donations.  They are located right at the entrance of Cap Estate on the right hand side.  Karen Douboulay-Hunt or Faye Joseph are collecting.  You can talk to the receptionist inside.  I believe they close at 4:30 PM.  Thanks Jasmin Charles for the note.

Also Coach Jamie sent me this one.

Please bring donations of food, water, clothing and other basic essentials to the Rodney Bay Marina tomorrow morning (Tuesday) from 8 am. The vigie dock in front of auberge seraphine is also accepting all donations from now. These donations will be transported to the southern parts of the island by boat.
