Dare to Care Workshops - September 19-20th

 

Dare to Care is a Canadian organization that YKPBSC is partnering with this fall to lead workshops for swimmers, parents, and coaches in our program. The organization's goal is to empower communities with the skills & courage to prevent bullying so everyone can prosper in life, learning, and play.

 

Dare to Care will be hosting the following workshops this week in Yellowknife. We're looking forward to this unique opportunity offered to members at no cost, and we are hopeful that all available members and parents can attend! 

  • Friday, September 19th 4:30-6:00pm - Athletes ages 7-12 (any athletes under the age of 7 do not need to attend)

  • Saturday, September 20th 8:00-10:00am - Athletes age 13-18

  • Saturday, September 20th 10:00am-12:00pm - Parents

 

All Dare to Care workshops will be hosted in the multipurpose room at the Aquatic Centre.

 

Open House this Sunday, Sept 21st, 9am-12pm! 

We are hosting an Open House this Sunday, September 21st from 9am-12pm at the Aquatic Centre! This is a brunch potluck, so please bring an appetite and you’re welcome to bring a dish, drinks or something to share. 

 

9-11am

  • Potluck

  • Gear swap (bring gently used gear you’d like to swap)

  • Tri Hub sizing kit

 

11am-12pm 

  • Kids can go to the pool for an ‘open swim’ supervised by the coaches

  • Our Head Coach, Sam, and the Board will make presentations to the parents and be available for questions

 

This is a chance to learn about our club, the season schedule, expectations, and fundraising and volunteer opportunities (and the difference between them!). 

 

This is also an opportunity to meet our coaches and the board and to ask any questions about our club and competitive swimming. 

 

Younger children are welcome! We love prospective athletes ;) If you need to come late or leave early, that's okay too.
