Message from Tom
Hello everyone,
I hope and pray that the new year finds you refreshed and ready!
Just a reminder that swim training starts this Tuesday even though I know school doesn't start for many until Wednesday.
Please make sure to check out our website and blog for un to date information on our swim club.

Congratulations to all of our swimmers who swam in the swim meet. You all did great!
Just a couple of reminders...
-The next couple of months are chilly. Make sure ot send along a warm towel. The children might want to wear a swim shirt or t-shirt during practice to stay warm.
-Remember to pay your swim fees BEFORE the month begins.
-No refunds for sick days.
-If your child wants to take a break from swimming, let me know.
Just to give you an idea of our upcoming training, it is going to look like this.
LEVEL 1
We will be working on the basics to each stroke.
January - Breath Control
February - Balance
March - Sculling
April - Rhythm
May and June will focus on the three competitive strokes that we will be dealing with - freestyle, breast stroke and back stroke.
LEVEL 2
We will be covering the basics for the four competitive strokes in the next four months.
January - Freestyle or Breast stroke
February - Freestyle or Breast Stroke
March - Back stroke
April - Introduction to Fly
May and June will be reviewing the strokes and working on competitive aspects to each one.
Thanks everyone!
Coach Tom

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
