Hollyburn Swim Team Summer Update
Hope everyone is enjoying their summer and staying active!
A few important points as the start of our season quickly
approaches:
Canadian Age Group Championships Results
Congratulations to Chris who represented our team extremely well
against the top age group competition in the country! Chris raced
to a Bronze Medal in the 50m Backstroke, with an incredible time of
27.72! It was his first Canadian Senior National standard and
smashed our club record. He also reached finals in the 100m
Backstroke with another club record and raced to best times in five
out of his six events. An extraordinary way to end the
season!
Hurricanes Coaching Staff
We are very excited to announce that Kelly Kaye will be joining our
coaching staff for the 2015-2016 season! Kelly has a very
impressive coaching resume including Head Coach of Chena Swim Club
and has worked with swimmers of all levels in the North Shore and
Squamish. She will bring her expertise in developing high level age
group swimmers and cultivating a love of the sport to all of the
groups in our club from Discover to Excel.
Carly will be returning to work with our Discover groups after
beginning her coaching career last season. She has shown a strong
ability to connect with our youngest swimmers and has a great feel
for teaching the swimming skills that are so important in our
introductory groups.
With Ariel, Kelly and Carly we have a tremendous development
coaching staff that rivals any team across the country!
