Hello Candu-ers!
Here's a couple of upcoming events to note on your calendar. For the items that require confirmation, please respond directly to this email.
MARCH 5/2011 YOGA SESSION (Open to all competitive and fitness swimmers):
On Saturday March 5th we are having a special dry land practice and breakfast. Instead of a pool practice, we will be meeting at the CEC (Christian Education Centre beside the Community Church in Deep River) at 8am for a yoga class with Kirstie Smith. All competitive and fitness swimmers are invited to attend (parents too!). Even if you normally don’t come on Saturday morning, we encourage you to come out for this class. And for added incentive…breakfast will be served for a twoonie by the coaches!!
Yoga is a perfect complement to swimming – the stretches and poses we do will help with increasing both flexibility and strength. Since most of you are new to yoga, Kirstie will go through all the poses with lots of instruction, but be prepared to work hard!
In order to get enough supplies for cooking breakfast, please let us know if you are planning to attend. Respond to deeprivercandus@gmail.com or just let the coaches know at practice. Also, let us know if you need directions to the CEC.
This is a great opportunity to try something new and I know it will be a benefit to you all, so I hope to see all your enthusiastic faces on Saturday March 5th!!!
Thanks!!
Melinda
PRACTICE CANCELLATIONS: There will be no practices from Mon March 14 to Fri March 18/11 because of the March Break. Both Saturdays (March 12/19) will still take place. Practices are also cancelled on Sat April 23 and Mon April 25 because of Easter.
SWIM-A-THON April 2/2011: A club fundraiser that everyone should attend! Swim-a-thon packages will be coming out soon! All programs/athletes of the Candu Swim Club will be swimming from 7:15-9:15am. Competitive and fitness swimmers will see how many lengths they can swim in a 2 hour span to a maximum of 5km! ICS Athletes will either sign up for the first or second hour. Coaches will be making everyone a breakfast afterwards as a thank you! We will also be taking a picture (with your permission) to show the community how widely the pool is used. There will be an alternative date (TBD) for those with other commitments that day. Doors will be open at 7am.
SUNDAES ON A SUNDAY April 10/2011: The club will be hosting a mini, non-sanctioned meet for the competitive/fitness and ICS Stage 2 and 3 Swimmers. This event is similar to the Candy Cane Meet we attended in December with the Ravens of Carleton Swim Club (ROCS). ROCS swim team will be our featured guest! Races will take place from 1-3pm followed by 'make your own' Sundaes in the upstairs lobby from 3-4pm. Track your child's progress and compare it to the upcoming Black Fly meet! More details to come!
Until next time!
Fast and fun swimming!
