Dear SHAPE Seals Members,

Welcome to the 50th Anniversary Season of Shape Seals! I want to extend a warm welcome to all our new and returning members of the SHAPE Seals family! I look forward to continuing this journey as your president and anticipate a very exciting season.

Our head coach, Jenna Turner, is back to lead our team.  We have some fresh faces added our coaching team who bring experience and enthusiasm. In 2025, we won our 4th consecutive EFSL Benelux Division Championships. We aim to defend this title as well as increase our individual success in both short and long-distance championships.

In what should be a celebratory 50th year, we have already been faced with challenges surrounding the Shape pool closure and maintenance.  I assure you that the Board has been doing everything in our power to keep this on schedule and keep you informed of updates.  We appreciate all of the families for being so understanding during this process. 

We must remember that the focus of SHAPE Seals is solely about one thing: our swimmers. It’s our collective responsibility to give them the best opportunities to achieve great things in the pool and to experience the joy of competitive swimming.

Happy 50th Anniversary Shape Seals! Let’s make some memories and achieve greatness!

GO SEALS!

Lynne Robertson
SHAPE Seals President 2025/26
