Jubilent Return for our OECS Team

Hi all:

Tonight was a very special experience for all the members of the 2012 OECS Swimming Champions, a moment to remember for sure.

Jamie

Sharks did so well overall. See SLASA Site for details as they are put together.

Chris

I would like to take the opportunity to thank the executive for supporting the Team that was recommended to defend our championship. Our 3 SR Swimmers based in the USA, earned us 268 points and 2 of the 3 won their age group, while 1 (Julien) was just ONE point away from winning his age group.

Fund raising

Dear Parents and Swimmers,


Thank you all for your tremendous support of our fun filled Beach BBQ at Vigie Beach last Saturday.    We raised over $2000.00 making it truly a resounding success!

 

The club also donated food to The Boys Training Center in Masade Gros-Islet at the end of the BBQ.

Please bring in any outstanding money or unsold BBQ tickets and place in the SHARKS box in the Office at the Pool.
 

The IPOD Shuffle Raffle will be drawn on Wednesday the 7th so please sell as many chances as possible.

   

 

 

 

 

 

Please note that raffle sheets and raffle money must be turned in tomorrow Tuesday November 6th. 

Well done SHARKS!

 

The Fund Raising Committee

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...

Coach Jamie
