SWIM ACADEMY CREATES MORE THAN RIPPLES

Saturday morning, June 15, Academy swimmers were excited to meet Swim Olympian, Chantal VanLandeghem who spoke to parents and swimmers. Her topic was developing confidence and the audience was held in rapt attention.

Chantal and friends, Lauren Teghtsoonian, Tia VanLandeghem, Liz Castonguay and Ella-Rayne Aguilar delighted the 40+ swimmers providing them with tips on dive starts, turns, finishes and freestyle stroke swimming. The swimmers then, ably, demonstrated their competitive skills to the many swim fans in attendance. Most importantly, parents and novice swim athletes were introduced to the exciting competitive swim arena. Many thanks to parent timers and our official starter, Janine Cheung and referee, Jeff Rerie. As well, thank you, Elite and Performance athletes, and coaches who assisted.

Above all, congratulations parents! You love your children so much to provide them appropriate opportunities to develop aquatic skills for life.
