FAST Swimmers head to Montreal (oops)

Fast Swimmers Heading to Montreal
Twelve Fredericton Aquanauts swimmers are heading to Montreal tomorrow as part of the Swim NB's Olympic Games Training Camp. This training camp is to help our top 20 male swimmers and the top 20 female swimmers in the province get ready for Canada Games next summer. Swim NB chose the best swimmers in NB to go to train in Montreal. Our swimmers will also get the fantastic opportunity to go see the Olympics Trials going on in Montreal this weekend. Our Head Coach Marta Belsh has already been selected as Team NB's Head Coach. Marta will accompany the swimmers with another great FAST Coach, Alexander MacDonald assisting.
Our Twelve swimmers are from left to right
Back row: Noah Horwood, Alex Horwood, David Thibodeau, Eric Meng, Will Penney
Front Row: Coach Marta Belsh, Jordana Stanford, Cassidy Richards, Sarah Wood, Gabriella Belsh, Lauren Adam and Coach Alexander MacDonald. Missing from picture but going to Montreal: Teague Foreman and Mary Ketterling...
Sorry for the first email...last line didn't past over to email :)

Key Words - Swim Parent News for Week of March 12

Week of March 12, 2012 Please send comments or subscription requests to news@swimmingcoach.org ===================================================================== Key Words Guy Edson In the process of teaching swimming skills coaches often use "key words." Key words are a way to sum up a whole bunch of paragraphs into two, three, or four words that are easy for the swimmer to remember. Coaches ask swimmers to recall the key words as they do a skill. I came across an article entitled "88 Ways to Say "Very Good!" on www.gym.net, written by Gymnastics Risk Management and Consultation Michael A. Taylor coacht@gym.net . As I read down the list I thought of the concept of "key words" for swim parents who want to give emotional support for their children's progress without getting into technical details of stroke, splits, starts, etc. I selected the last 23 items from the list and present them here. Catch yourself using them! You're doing beautifully You're doing fine You're getting better every day You're learning fast You're on the right track now You're really improving You're really working hard today You've got it made You've got that down pat You've just about got it You've just about mastered that You are doing much better today You are really learning a lot You are very good at that You certainly did well today You figured that out fast You got it You make it look easy You must have been practicing You out did yourself today You really make this fun You remembered Your practicing has really paid off |

Outstanding Accounts

A couple of weeks ago, you should have all received an updated account balance from our treasurer, Ron Richards.
If you did not receive one, please let us know as a number of the email addresses that he had used bounced back to him.
We are asking that all accounts be settled asap. If your swimmer has a balance owing, your swimmer will NOT be allowed to swim in any of the upcoming meets. This includes Fredericton, Gagetown, Marianne Limbert team Champs, etc.
We appreciated your cooperation,
Heahter

Dry land information
As it turns out Canadian Sport Center Atlantic that provided us with funding for dry land sessions is adjusting their procedures and tighten things up in regards who is eligible to participate. I was asked to submit the list of potential swimmers who might make the team and those swimmers will be provided with the training free of charge. Swimmers who are not on the list can still participate but they will be asked to pay $135 for ten sessions. If your swimmer is in that position please write the check to FAST as CSCA will send us an invoice for all swimmers together.
