Senior White
This was a challenging pick - the energy and drive in December has been amazing! It is great to see the group pushing each other and raising their expectations of what they can do in practice. Many swimmers were able to see their hard work pay off with big PB's/new qualifications/medals at our December meets. The swimmers of the month for SW - for their big jump in training and mindset, are McCrea W and Erica L!

Congratulations to Zoe M, the swimmer of the month for the Junior Provincial group. Zoe has demonstrated a deep commitment to being both a great swimmer and an exceptional athlete. She understands the importance of the repetitive and serious challenges that she faces every day in the pool and always brings her best effort to each and every set. Zoe has a strong yet quiet competitiveness, combined with a deep respect for her teammates and coaches. She is always open to any ideas that would help her to improve. She is self-motivated and does not need any prompting from her coach to perform at her highest level on all of the daily challenges. Zoe has a wonderful sense of fun, is always enthusiastic and continually supportive of those around her. I believe she will have a long and distinguished career in the pool with many magical moments that I am confident she will truly enjoy. Congratulations Zoe.

Congratulations to Gloria L, the swimmer of the month for Junior Blue group. Gloria has had an unwavering and unrelenting commitment to the Junior Blue program but this is only the beginning of the analysis for Gloria. She is passionate about swimming and is always willing to enthusiastically tackle all the little things that define success in the pool. She is there on time every day ready to put in her best effort. She is self-motivated and quick to understand the details of the defined sets. She has an extremely mature understanding of the process involved in competitive swimming and her strong resilience is always present when she faces the inevitable challenges that are a companion of every swimmer. Gloria has a natural and strong leadership style combined with a very humble and trustworthy nature. When you observe Gloria over a few months you begin to understand her strength of character and to appreciate her secret of success-a deep and abiding determination. Congratulations Gloria.
