SEASONS GREETINGS SHARKS SWIMMERS & PARENTS:


Thank you all for one of the most interesting and successful years for our excellent Swim Club, The Sharks Swim Club. All competitions and practices are complete, (except for our more committed swimmers ; please be aware of daily updates on practice times & venue), and we look forward to a New Year of discoveries and progressive improvements in and out the pool.

I would like to congratulate the members of our club on a fantastic week of swimming last week. I would also like to congratulate our Jr coaches & Qualified Coaches on achieving some excellent results from their commitment to The Sharks Swim Club.

8 Sharks Swimmers competed last week at The Short Course World Championships in Turkey and the The ASATT Invitational in Trinidad, and once again by the end of the week, we had once again overhauled the record book.  5 New National Records, and 17 New Age Group Records (including the 5 National Records) were set by 4 of the 8 Sharks swimmers, certainly a great early Christmas present for the swimmers and our club.

Jordan Augier continued to show why he has been one of the most outstanding St. Lucia Swimmers in 2012 as he set 5 New National (& Age Group) Records at the World Champs. Teammate Julien Brice set 1 New Age Group Record and was under the previous National Record in the 100 IM. Young rising stars Adriana Gooding and Katelin Samuel set 5 New Age Group Records each in Trinidad against some fierce competition from Trinidad, Barbados, Antigua & Grenada. Honorable mention to Eden Crick who was under the previous age group Record in 2 of her 6 events at the Trinidad meet.

Congratulations to Kyle Ernest who swam personal best times in all 8 of his events, Christopher Phillips who performed to his best in 7 of his 9 events, and Jyasi Daniel who raced his way to 6 personal best times in 8 of his events. 

A truly excellent way to end the year and set the bar even higher for the next generation that will try to outperform some very fast times in the near future.

CONGRATULATIONS SHARKS SwimmerS, YOU ROCK!

THANK YOU SHARKS PARENTS:

Thank You to all of our parent volunteer administrators and parents and siblings,uncles,aunts, cousins, grandparents, family friends, who all support the growth and improvement of The Sharks Swim Club. 
We look forward to the continued support and encourage many more agents and family members and family friends to consider contributing to the great sport of swimming as St. Lucia Swimming moves forward to staging a world class swimmeet in the very near future.

In Gratitude,
Sharks Coaching Staff - "KAIZEN" - (continuous improvement)
