We are being allowed to have swimmers swim the 400, 800, and 1500 in advance of the Tritons swim meet next weekend and then have these times be input into the results so that they can be official. This mini meet will allow us to do so; however, we will need some parent volunteers to do the timing for us (we are hoping that only parents with timing experience, or the certification as it helps to validate the results!). Please RSVP if your swimmer will attend, and then if you can sign-up to help us time. We will need two timers per lane if at all possible!

We have the incredible opportunity to have some dryland training provided by Tony Koo of Kinevra Athletics. Tony is a Piranha Alumni, and swam for many years. He is now interested in going into the Kinesology Program at the University of Calgary and is looking to gain some experience, as well as film some footage to help promote his new business. 

Tony has offered to train the black swimmers Monday, Tuesday and Thursday each week, starting on Thursday, July 3rd, for the rest of the season from 6:15-7 pm, 45 minutes before our in-pool training from 7-8 pm. 

If you are interested in attending these sessions, all swimmers must sign a consent form to have their image posted on Kinerva Athletics social media, which will be attached below. Please email the signed form to [email protected].
