Jennifer Robinson

 

The Goldfins Swim Club celebrated 40 White 1 & 2 Group swimmers' progress at the first Goldfins Swim Series swim meet, February 29, 2020, Harry Bailey Aquatic Centre.  The Goldfins Swim Series is a unique competitive opportunity for the Goldfins White 1 & 2 Groups.  

The Goldfins Swim Series was held during White 1 & 2’s regularly scheduled Saturday AM training session.  This series of competitions has been facilitated to develop improved levels of swimming efficiency and skills in a welcoming and supportive competitive environment.  It is designed to assist White swimmers to learn to race with confidence, gain endurance and improve stroke technique. This series of competition is designed by our coaches to be an innovative skills-based swimming program intended to be mastered by the Goldfins White group swimmers.  

In addition to timing the events; swimmers were evaluated based on a required swimming stroke and skill segments.
