Making Waves!!

We have had a great winter season and a great start to the summer season!!

Congratulations

The Jets had an awesome showing at the Vancouver Island Long Course Regional Championships last weekend in Victoria.

Ashley Bingham competed in her first meet as a Senior female (15 and older). She faired very well against the stiff competition setting a best time in her 100 Fr.

Kira Stacy set best times in her 100 and 200 Backstroke and placed 10th in her 100 Br.

We rounded the Jet's winter season off with an awards and recognition night. Congratulations to all Jets swimmers for a great season of training, racing and just being good people. Special Congratulations go out to this years awards recipients:

Samantha Gialet - Most Improved Junior
Gabe Lowe - Junior Jet of the Year
Kira Stacey - Most Improved Senior of the Year

We had four Royals compete in the first summer meet of the year June 5,6 in Duncan.
Congratulations to Sean Hunter, Erica and Rachel Campbell, Ashley Bingham, Jenna and Kira Stacey. You all "set the bar" for the rest of the summer.

Good luck to ALL THIRTEEN Royals competing this weekend at Commonwealth.

Note from Coach T

I would like to take a moment to stress the importance of personal goals. Goals are very maliable. I think we often lose sight of what forms our goal can take. We are constantly bombarded with pace times, A, B, and C time standards, and even crunching away at our own personal best TIMES! Goals equally as important as bettering those times can be in the form of our subjective feelings at meets and in practices, or how we organize ourselves before events or plane and simply...ARE WE HAVING FUN!!?? It is very important to analyse these goals as well and recognize that goals can change daily, weekly or seasonally. We need to always assess what we are puting into our training and what is a realistic expectation of the outcomes. Dont be afraid to forget about times for a little while and focus on yourself.
