December Report
Both young and experienced athletes were busy representing the Deep River Candu Swim Club throughout Eastern Ontario this past December. The team’s cheer, “Small Town, Big Waves” not only echoed the walls of Artillery Park in Kingston and Carleton University in Ottawa but was also demonstrated in the water.
On December 5th, the club took 3 females and four males to Kingston. Ecaterina Facina, (age ten) placed top in her age group in the 100m Backstroke event, second in the 50m Backstroke, third in the 200m Freestyle and performed a regional time for her 200m Individual Medley (IM). Emily Paquette (age eleven) did notably well and placed in the top three for all her races. She is to be commended for finishing her 800 free (32 lengths) with a goggle mishap that occurred right off her dive – way to go! Claire Luesink (age fifteen) took third for the 200m IM and 50m butterfly races and achieved a significant personal best for her 100m backstroke race. Gabe Roy (age eleven) had an extremely successful meet achieving substantial personal bests in all races, and ranked first in the 200m Freestyle and 200m IM and second in the 100m Breaststroke. Vincent Martel (age twelve) achieved personal bests throughout the meet and ranked second in the 50m Freestyle and third in the 200m IM. Adam Paquette (age thirteen) performed all personal events and ranked first in all his events. Matt Ackman (age fourteen) also performed all personal bests and was extremely successful on his 100m Breaststroke, beating his previous national time of 1:15.81 by two seconds with a final time of 1:13.63!
The following weekend, the I Can Swim and Fitness swimmers (and some competitive swimmers who couldn’t resist a racing opportunity) showcased their racing abilities and participated in a competition friendly developmental meet at Carleton University with the Ravens of Carleton Swim Club. Eric and Thomas Birchall, Brittany Boor, Breena Chaput, Laura Chin, Ben, James and Nicholas Osborne, Ben Sanderson, Simon Weiss and Al and Hannah Williams all participated in three races and experienced the “Bubbler” (a couple thousand pounds of compressed air released from the bottom of the deep end which creates a volcano like affect). Results were recorded and are compared against the past Great Pumpkin time trial, end of session in-house meets, and the annual season end Blackfly Meet in May. To end the day some families traveled up to Morrisburg to tour Upper Canada and the award winning Festival of Lights. A team breakfast ended the great weekend along with a little hide-and-seek – it always seems so much better in a hotel!
The Candu Swim Club always welcomes new participants and spaces are available in all programs. Swimming is a great low impact sport that encourages healthy physical and peer development in a competition friendly environment. If you’re an adult who is able to swim 50m please consider joining the Masters program on Monday, Wednesday and Friday evenings from 5:30-6:30pm. We offer stroke correction and will implement a program designed to meet your individual needs (training for an athletic event, improving or maintaining fitness or providing an alternative exercise while recovering from a pre-existing injury) with a nationally certified coach. We’re in the process of expanding our Masters program to complement the Town’s Adult annual pool membership. Stay tune for further details!
