Well... when I started in May of last year with the Morrison Seahorse Swim Club we started with 10-12 swimmers on a good day! Our numbers are now 30-35 swimmers... and a WHOPPING 20 kids at the last swim meet of our Winter season. 25 kids out of those 35 kids have participated in A swim meet. Our meet percentage is actually quite amazing for a restored team!
I am PROUD of this Club and how it has grown the past year. Our Paint the Town fundraiser as well as our Spirit Gear Sales (t-shirts/sweatshirts) and the loose change competition bought our brand new lane lines... which are beautiful as the picture above shows!
We began our journey as a team in the summer... we played soccer, rode bikes, went to French creek park, and really started to get to know each other as team mates by answering questions and taking turns being "the star".
We recruited in the Fall and had a whopping 33 regular kids! Amazing... We added a new subgroup -Piranhas and started attending swim meets. As stated above we did good with participation and even better with performance!!
Some high lights of our Fall/Winter Season...
Fun Fridays and treats!
Our loose change drive earned me about 8 pies in my face and a fun day!
Halloween brought costume relays
Before Christmas we had our memory contest around the pool about our friend's wishlists
Christmas break brought stroke/technique clinics
We voted on and ordered our TEAM suits!
Our Bring a Friend to Practice Night was a CRAZY success 62 swimmers!! And of that 62 only about 24 of them were actual MSSC members!!!!
We will be ending the season in a few short weeks but not before we take team pictures and encounter FUN WEEK....
We will have our Awards Banquet in March- Annual Meeting as well.. and begin our Spring Season with Try outs on April 12th and 13th... with practice resuming April 16th
You have done AMAZING things with the club this year. I am so impressed with your hard work and ideas!
