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!

B's

I got a call on Saturday from coach Ryan. He was in Medicine Hat for B’s. Matt Whiteside place 1st in 200 Breast, and is going to A’s!! Alight Matt!!!!

Freeze or Fry

“They call this meet Freeze or Fry? This weekend is definitely a freeze.”
-Matt Whiteside

The meet was a freeze for sure. Matt was the only Fitness Development swimmer to make it out to Red Deer. The weather was bad, but the meet was good. Matt made finals both days, and had some great swims. Matt realized he only had to take off 32 seconds in his 200 breast to make it to A’s. He decided that is his next goal.
