An earlier draft of this year’s practice times had FD switching to an earlier slot on Wednesdays. We have decided NOT to make this change. FD will remain on the old schedule:
Monday: off
Tuesday: 6:45-830 pm
Wednesday: 5:15-7:00 pm
Thursday: off
Friday: 3:45-5:15 pm
Saturday: 6:45-8:15 am (swimming)
8:15-8:45 am (dryland)
Sunday: off
I know this change works better for some families, and worse for others. If this is a problem, please let me know and we can try to work something out.

Poppy Invitational
This weekend most of FD swam in Silvertide’s own Poppy Invitational swim meet. At the beginning of the meet, it was announced that this year was the 20th annual Poppy meet. Wow. The first swim meet I swam was the 2nd annual Poppy Invitational. I’ve been to many great Poppy Invitationals, and this year was no exception.
In attendance this year were FD swimmers Kathleen, Jaci, Roxanne, Omar, Caleb, Connor, Scott, Mike, Chantelle, Maddy, and Mark. It was the first swim meet that Jaci, Mike, Maddy and Mark have ever swum!!
It was a good meet for FD. No swimmers missed any races, there were only a few disqualifications, and there were a ton of best times. Most importantly, Fitness Development really came into its own as a group. It was a big change from previous swim seasons where there would only be 1 or 2 FD swimmers at a meet. More swimmers means more fun for everyone!
From here we will prepare over the next month for the next meet, J.P. Fiset. We will refine our turns, breakouts, and dives and will set as many personal best times at JP Fiset as we did at Poppy. I hope the fun we had this past weekend will be infectious, encouraging the rest of FD to come down and enjoy a swim meet or two!

Big Group!
I would like to begin this season’s blog with a big update on Fitness Development (FD)! We have almost tripled in size from last season! First off, I would like to welcome new FD swimmers Jaci, Connor, Mike, Scott, Bethany, Chantelle, Maddy, and Mark to Silvertide! I would also like to welcome previous Silvertide swimmers Kathleen and Kaitlyn to Fitness Development. All of these new swimmers are joining our returning swimmers Shelby, Andrew, Roxanne, Omar, Caleb, James, and Kiersten to form a very large (17 swimmers) and exciting group! Finally, I would like to congratulate former Fitness Development swimmer Matt Whiteside for moving up to Senior Development!
