Swim-a-thon

 

 

 

 

Hi Everyone,

 

What a great weekend with our in-house time trial and the university Amby Legere Invitational! I saw some wonderful swimming this past weekend!

 

As you know, our swim-a-thon will be held this coming weekend on Saturday morning, October 27 at 6:30am.  I am looking forward to seeing all of our swimmers out once again and all together to have fun and get in lots of swimming.  This is a long swim for our children and they will need sustenance so I am asking parents to bring some food and drink in. Please see below to find out what your swimmer's group is responsible for. 

 

Also, please be sure to bring in your pledge forms, ONE CHEQUE made out to FAST that covers the total amount raised LESS the $60 that you have already paid at registration. I will be down on deck collecting money, pledge forms and food. If anyone would like to help out with the food or counting money I could certainly use this kind of help.

 

Thank you to all of you for your help. These events would not happen without the support of our parents.

 

Sincerely,

 

Cheryll Penney

 

For those options that have choices, please just bring in one option. I just wanted a variety of items. Eg fruit tray OR bananas OR apples etc. For the bagels you can bring bagels with cream cheese or butter or margarine.

 

Novice 1, 2, 3 -Drinking boxes

AG 2 & 3 – Muffins/croissants/other breakfast items

AG 1 and Senior 2 - Fruit tray/bananas/apples/oranges

Senior 1 - Bagels/Cream cheese/Butter/Margarine

Pitney Bowes NB Sports Awards

The nomination committee had their work cut out for them as there were many deserving candidates in each category. That being said I am pleased to inform you that the following individuals are finalists:

 

Cassidy Richards – Comfort Inn Female Athlete of the Year

Alex MacDonald – Male Coach of the Year

Lauren Adam – Spirit of Sport

Lauren Adam – President's Award (Female)

Alex Horwood – President's Award (Male)

The Pitney Bowes Awards recognize the accomplishments of New Brunswick's greatest athletes, teams, coaches, officials, and volunteers in amateur sport over the past year. 

"Over the past year each of these nominees has done New Brunswick very proud," said McKillop. "These are the types of people who inspire others to be great, and help see the value in sport participation. New Brunswickers can be very proud of these individuals". 

FAST wishes all finalists best of luck and we'll be cheering you on.

Nb Liquor fundraiser

 

 

    To FAST Parents:



    Our first fundraiser of the year will be at the Nb Liquor store on Prospect St. November 8th, 9th and 10th. This is a
great opportunity for FAST families to raise money directly for their own child. Ninety-five percent of the funds collected
will go towards your child's account. Each time slot can have a maximum of two families and each family can sign up for
one slot. If demand is low a family can participate in more than one slot.

    The time slots are: Thurs Nov 8th 4:00 - 6:30 and 6:30 - 9:00
                      Friday Nov 9th 4:00 - 6:30 and 6:30 - 9:00
                      Sat      Nov 10th 9am - 11am, 11am - 1pm, 1pm - 3pm, 3pm - 5pm, 5pm - 7pm

    Kids must wear their FAST Jacket and at least one adult must be present during each time slot.
    Slots will be given out on a first come first serve basis. Interested parents can contact me at Chrisgoodyear@rogers.com.

FAST Invitational Nov 3rd & 4th, 2012

"Thank you to all those who helped out with the Time Trial and Amby meet this weekend, what a great show of support.

We are now soliciting maximum parental participation for our biggest meet of the season.

The FAST Invitational Meet, November 3rd and 4th, will have four sessions. Sessions are expected to last 4 hours.

And, we need 35 people per session to help officiate. You do not need to have any experience to be a Timekeeper. We hold a short training session 30 minutes before the session starts. Helping officiate is the best seat in the house, and the only way to be on deck with the swimmers.

I would request that officials present to the Official's room(I will put up signs) for the following times;

Session #1 - Sat., Nov 3 - 8:15 am

Session #2 - Sat., Nov 3 - 3:30 pm

Session #3 - Sun., Nov 4 - 8:15 am

Session #4 - Sun., Nov 4 - 3:30 pm


Please consider helping out to ensure a successful meet for our swimmers.

Let me know as soon as you are able which sessions you are able to work. As well, please feel free to contact me with any questions.

Thanks,

FAST Dry land

Swimmers and Parents, 

A quick note of clarification regarding the FAST dry land program. At the moment, we have logistic issues and dry land program is suspended for the time being. We are working on number of opportunities and different approaches, however it takes time to organize it. We are looking after 8 different groups of swimmers and fitness levels and it is a somewhat complicated and challenging process. We are strong advocates for having dry land program as part of our training and we are working on the issue to resolve it as soon as possible.

 The only dry land program available at the moment is for selected swimmers who are Canada Games potential and I have been in touch with those swimmers on individual bases. 

If you have any questions or need clarification please ask the coaching staff directly. 

Thank you for your attention and we apologize for any inconvenience, 

Marta

 

 

Fishes and Sharks news

Hello everyone!

I just wanted to send out a quick note about how things are going with the program thus far! I'm really pleased with how hard everyone is working and I'm seeing some real improvement from the kids. KEEP IT UP! Right now we're still working on developing general skills for each stroke and basic endurance. You might see us working hard on our kick, and that's because having a strong kick helps keep a good body position in the water, which in turn helps them have better, more efficient strokes.

I do have an announcement for the Fishes 2 and 3 classes that run Mondays and Fridays from 5:30-6:15. There will be NO class this coming Friday, October 19th because the UNB varsity reds have a swim meet that day and have booked the pool. Now because they also had Thanksgiving Monday where they missed a class, we will be adding on an extra week at the end of the session for only the Monday/Friday classes.

That's it from me, I hope the kids are having as much fun as we are and if you have any concerns, as always, don't hesitate to ask!!

See you at the pool!

Mel
