Tritons Meet July 18

ATTENTION!!!!! WARMUPS ARE EARLIER THAN FIRST POSTED!!!! WARMUPS ARE AT 7:00AM!!!!!

Tritons Meet is this weekend.

MEET INFO

Warm-ups will be at 7:00am as usual so please check in with your coach by 6:50am. The meet is in Calgary at the Talisman Center so we get a bit of a sleep in which will be nice.

Due to past years having to many people on deck to the ratio of lifeguards available the Tritons swim club is limiting the amount of parents allowed on deck. All parents on deck will require a pass. If your child is 8 or under you can request a pass if you feel that they need the extra supervision. If not, there will be parent chaperones on deck to help take care of all the swimmers. We are getting close to the end of the year so hopefully everyone is feeling comfortable with how everything is running and the children may be feeling a bit more independent :).

There is a concession as well as a Jugo Juice there so lots of healthy choices will be available.

We look forward to a good meet this weekend. See you all on deck!

Coaches Corner Hanna

This past weekend in Hanna was fun and exciting. Not only did the weather keep us on our toes, switching from the possibility of rain to sunshine, but seeing parents and family members compete was an added bonus. Representing the Swordfish squad was the Abel family swimming an amazing 1:1475 with the help from Cole, The Rudy family close behind going a 1:17.08, the Knudson family going a 1:27.61, the Bester family going 1:44.47, the Cheung Family, with help from Karin, going a 1:57.85, and finally the MacGregor and Sanabria families joining forces and going a 1:45. 87

Overall the Meet was a success with the Hawaiian get-up and water guns as well as some fun races to watch. Our next meet is close to home at the Talisman center. We have a good number of swimmers attending so I look forward to some more exciting races.

HANNA UPDATE!!

Warm-Ups!!
