Sharks Upodate

Hi SHARKS:

Congratulations to all our SHARKS Swimmers, YOU DID IT!  Once again we were crowned Short Course National Champions and our Girls Team  were Girls Team Champions and our Boys finished 3rd. Most important we had several outstanding swims and our team of 38 swimmers recorded an ASTOUNDING 175 Personal Best Times, along with 4 NEW Age Group Records (1 for Jyasi Daniel & Katelin Samuel & 2 for Eden Crick). THAT IS AWESOMMEEEEEEEE!!!

We have also once again had the most swimmers selected to represent St. Lucia at the OECS Swimming Championships, and they will be formally introduced to the press and SLASA Members at the pool on Sunday @ 1 pm. 

Parents we need everyone's help to raise the necessary funds to send our 2012 St. Lucia National OECS Team to Antigua this year. The Goal is $75,000 and we are almost half way there. We have one more month to raise the finds and our swim club will be having some fundraisers over the next 3-4 week period to assist.  

Please see attached a letter from our Club President with details for A BAKE SALE next week Saturday, October 20th at the JQ Mall in Rodney Bay. Please assist with donations in kind or by volunteering some of your time to help at the table.

Looking forward to a great month of swimming and hope you all will be a part of our efforts to get our SHARKS swimmers and their teammates to the OECS Championships in Antigua next month.

Warm Regards,

Coach Jamie

Summer Splash

Hi SHARKS:

Congratulations on a GREAT SUMMER SPLASH. The SHARKS finished 2nd overall, and for the first time ever the Girls Team outscored the Boys Team, way to go SHARKS Girls! The boys still have a little bit of bragging rights, as they finished 2nd overall and the girls team finished 3rd. 

Congratulations to our swimmers for:

- First SWIMMEET = Christian Guillaume & Antoine Destang
-  Top 3 in age group =  Antoine, Anya & Clare
- Age group WINNER = Adriana, Katelin, Jyasi, Laura & Julien
- Age Group Records = Adriana (x2) = (200 Freestyle & 50 Backstroke), Katelin (100 FLY) & Jyasi (200 Breaststroke)

Our entire team swam really well as we had young swimmers who stepped up and swam new events for the first time including relays, and almost every swimmer had a fantastic swim as several best times were accomplished.

Thanks to all the parents who volunteered and the other parents and swimmers for making it a fun filled weekend of racing, cheering and team bonding. It was very different not having our senior swimmers at the meet, however we wish them all the best on all their new endeavors as we move fwd with a new identity.

Way to go SHARKS!  Just 6 weeks until The Short Course Championships, let's make it fun by making every day, every practice and every stroke count. KAIZEN...

2)  If your swimmer(s) will be attending each week, you can pay $300.00 upfront. This is not a SHARKS endeavor, thus all cheques to be made out to Jamie Peterkin. Thank You.

3)  I will be off island from July 27th - August 5th, thus there will be no organized practice for that week, (July 29th - August 4th). In addition plans are being made to use a different facility in August, so information on August Practice will be provided by the end of July. If all goes according to plan, we will Resume Practice on August 6th. 

4)  If you would like to continue to swim in my absence, you will have to pay a day pass to use the pool ($12.50 per day). Please note that this is optional and nobody is required to do any swimming, it is YOUR SWIMMERS CHOICE.

5) Please write to me at peterkinjamie@yahoo.com for any further inquiries, or you can reach me at 287-7321 if this is your preferred way of communication.
Looking forward to a very productive month of practice. Thank you all for your patience and interest in your swimmers continuous development…KAIZEN.
