Fast Letter to City Officials

Hello Swim Families;

Please refer to the attached letter that will be issued to City
officials as well as the Daily Gleaner in the next few days. It
expresses our collective concerns regarding the future of aquatic
facilities for our City. More specifically for FAST; the need for a new
multi purpose facility when the Sir Max Aitken Pool at UNB is eventually
decommissioned. This will ensure continuity of competitive swimming in
Fredericton.

The letter is intended to raise awareness of our concerns with City
officials. As well, it is important that the recreational master plan
for the City includes plans for aquatic facilities for all current and
future user groups. There is a place for each swim family to sign the
letter if you wish to forward a copy on.

I encourage all of you to speak to your councilors and community leaders
to raise the level of awareness on this issue. Collectively, we are a
powerful voice and will get progressive support on this important
opportunity.

We will be formally meeting with several officials, politicians in
the near future as well.

This is a critical issue for our swimmers.

Thanks
Michel Losier
President, FAST

FAST Head Coach receives National Grant

 

Swimming Canada Announces Women in Coaching Grant Recipients

April, 21, 2009

Ottawa, ON – Swimming Canada is pleased to announce two recipients of the Women in Coaching Grants. Marta Belsh, Head Coach of the Fredericton Aquanauts Swim Team and Sarah Smith, Head coach of the Goulbourn Sea Hawks Swim Club will each receive $4,000 in the form of scholarships for their National Coaching Institute (NCI) studies.

Marta Belsh is an NCCP Level 3 Certified coach with extensive high level experience at the National and International level. She is in her first year as Head Coach of the Fredericton Aquanauts Swim Team (FAST) and has over 11 years of coaching experience as well as her own experience as a National-level swimmer in her native Poland. Before becoming Head Coach with the FAST program, Marta was a coach with the Barrie Trojans Swim Club and coached para-swimmer Brittany Gray onto the 2008 Paralympic Swim team. Marta was also a member of the coaching staff that traveled to Rio de Janeiro for the 2007 Para-pan American Games. Marta will be doing her NCI studies through distance education from the Atlantic branch.

Sarah Smith is an NCCP Level 3 Certified coach with over 18 years coaching experience. Before becoming Head Coach of the Goulbourn Sea Hawks, Sarah was the Associate Head Coach at Brock Niagara Aquatics and had the opportunity to work with all levels of athletes; from young development swimmers through to varsity. Sarah has been responsible for developing swimmers through to podium performances at the Provincial, Eastern Canadian and Age Group National level. She currently serves on the Board of Directors for the Ontario Swimming Coaches Association and is currently active in working with Swimming Canada and the Canadian Swimming Coaches Association in developing and delivering NCCP coaching education programs. Sarah is moving to Victoria to complete her NCI studies.

These grants are from Swimming Canada's Women in Coaching Funds through Sport Canada. Grants are awarded annually to recipients who are working to enhance the education and development of women towards high performance objectives. Recipients may include individuals, clubs or provincial sections.

We will be discussing the future of our pool facilities in the city of Fredericton and sharing concerns that we currently share. This is a "top priority" item for all of us.

Please make every effort to attend.

Marianne Limpert Timers needed

Hello Everyone,

By now everyone is aware FAST is hosting the Marianne Limpert Team Champs from May 1-3,
so of course, we will need lots of timers.  With 6 swim sessions and 18 timers required
for each session, it is clear that we will be asking every swim family to "time" at
least one session, so we do not have some families doing all 6 session. 

For new swimmer families - this is a great opportunity to have a front row seat and
really be a part of the action.  It is so much cooler to be on deck than to sit in the
VERY HOT stands.

This is also a great opportunity for High School Students to get their volunteer hours
whether it be for the Leadership class or for "non-academic" volunteer hours (for
scholarship applications).

Timing is not difficult and hopefully we can arrange a timers clinic for new timers the
week of Limpert.  It should only take about a half hour of your time; also, we will be
doing a run through before each session for all new and returning timers.

It is very important that everyone step up and commit their time to this event in order
for it to be a success.  Please let me know ASAP which shifts you are available to
time, so I can prepare a schedule.

Please email me at emartin@unb.ca or call me at 459-1974 to let me know or if you have
any questions.

Thank you,
Grace Martin
