Here is the flyer for the UNB Swim Camp.

UNB Swim Camp Information - August 11th to August 15th

Hello FAST Families!!

I hope you are all having a great summer and enjoying the wonderful weather!! We have been busy here at the pool getting things organized for a great season next year and we still have a few who are training and getting set to race in Calgary at Club Nationals next weekend. Rene Boudreau, Danielle Losier, Kaitlyn Young, Monica MacDonald. Chris Garcelon and Lauren Adam will all be representing FAST next weekend!!!

We are hoping to have all information for next year finalized by mid August so please keep your eyes on the website and your emails for updates and information on the great things we have planned for the program.

If you are itching to get some swimming in this summer before September comes I encourage you to participate in the UNB Swim Camp that I will be running from August 11th through until August 15th. This is the week of the Olympic Swimming and we will be having some fun here at the pool doing a lot of technical swimming and watching some fast racing!! In order for the camp to go ahead I am hoping to get a minimum of 20 swimmers registered so please go online to the Swim New Brunswick Website to find the details and registration forms. www.swimnb.ca

Take care and I look forward to seeing you all soon!!

Message from Coach Marta

Hello FAST Families,

 

It was a great pleasure to meet so many of you at the Banquet/Award night. Congratulations swimmers on very successful season and good luck to those who are still racing. Thank you to all who stopped by to say hello. I'm sure that in the coming days I'll have a chance to meet all of swimmers and parents. I'm looking forward to get to know all of you. I am making the move from Barrie to Fredericton and I would like to thank everyone involved with the Fast for making me feel welcome and comfortable here in Fredericton. I'm very exciting to have this fantastic coaching opportunity and be part of great swim team.
 

Together with Board we are working and planning next season.

 
One of the goals we set out as a club is to grow our base of swimmers.
 
We will be introducing new, redesigned pre-competitive program Fast Fishes. The goal is to engage as many young swimmers as we can. This program will run in 10 week sessions with 2 water practices a week. If you are interested or know someone who might be please contact Paula or myself for more information or pick up one of the brochures.
 
We are also working on streamlining groups and schedules. Soon we will be releasing information about registration, start dates for each group, parents meeting, group guidelines, etc. Please check the web site for more updates and information.
 
Please don't hesitate to contact me or Board if you have any questions. Communication is very important tool of success. If you have a suggestion, idea, or concern please contact us. We will be happy to respond and answer any question.
 
I know I'm asking a lot by saying please bear with us as we are going thru some changes and to keep open mind. We are hoping for smooth transition and Coach Paula has been great help bringing me up to speed with all club information. I strongly believe that we can get better and stronger as a club. Change can be a positive movement but only if we embrace it. Please be assured that at all times we have our swimmers on mind and their ultimate success. My goal is to help every swimmer in their own way to succeed and go beyond their potentials. Please come on board with us so together we can build positive and nurturing environment for the champions.
 
Swimmers, I know summer is already here and a lot of you are looking forward to lazy, hazy summer days. Enjoy nice game of soccer or bike ride with your friends and I'll see you in September.

 

Wishing you safe and wonderful summer…..

 

Coach Marta
