OFFICIALS AND VOLUNTEERS FOR HOME MEET - NOV 4/12
WE NEED YOU!!!
IF YOU ALREADY RESPONDED PLEASE NOTE YOUR MESSAGE HAS BEEN FORWARDED TO THE APPROPRIATE EXECUTIVE MEMBER.
It takes an amazing number of volunteers to run even a small meet, and the start of the season is a great time to get trained up. More than 30 officials are needed to make a meet session happen! We need eighteen Timekeepers alone as three timers are used per lane per session.

We
are offering two Swim Officials’ clinics 10:15-noon on Nov 4, upstairs
at the pool. The TIMEKEEPERS COURSE is the place to begin as it
explains the overview of how the meet works (certainly takes the mystery
out for the novice parent) and provides instruction on the use of a
sports stopwatch. Timing at swim meets guarantees the best seat in the
house!
Already
signed off as a Timer? Then CLERK OF COURSE may be the course for you.
This is another important role on deck, ensuring that swimmers, timers
and other officials know when and where the swimmers need to be. This
is an opportunity to meet coaches and see all the swimmers as they
assemble for their races. It is a great place to be!
As soon as possible, please contact Doug Rodgers, our Club's Officials' Chair, by email at dkml.rodgers@sympatico.ca or 613-584-4023 613-584-4023 .
Don't delay! THE KIDS NEED YOUR HELP!

As mentioned at our meeting, PARENTS WE NEED YOU! It

Would
rather help in some other way? Our Meet Manager Diane Davis (613 584

Officials’ lunch and distribution of snacks and water. If you prefer to
respond to this email instead we'll forward to the appropriate
executive members.

Planning for Big Waves!!!

offer the whole family! We continue to
develop and grow our very popular learn to swim program “I Can Swim” for kids aged
6 to 10 years old. Our trained coaches

where athletes are trained, supported and developed by our dynamic coaching
staff. For those looking for something
in-between, we have our non-competitive fitness program. Also, new this year, a pre-competitive
program is being introduced. This replaces
I Can Swim Fast and develops all aspects of swimming in a comfortable and
challenging environment. For adults (18
& up) able to swim a minimum of 50m, our club is pleased to support a
Masters Program in partnership with the Town of Deep River .
The year is divided into 3 sessions
allowing great flexibility:
- 1 Oct – 22 Dec;
- 7 Jan – 8 Mar; and
- 18 Mar – 7 Jun.
Dates and times are as follows:
- I Can Swim: Tuesday
& Thursday 4:00-5:00 p.m.

Small Town Big
Waves!
The CANDU Swim
Club review of 2011/12
The swimmers:
129 participants in 6 programs – I Can Swim (ICS), ICS Fast, ICS
Fast&Far, Fitness, Competitive and Masters.
The competitive team attended 12 away meets and 75% qualified for and
swam at the regional level. The team
hosted two local swim meets (The Great Pumpkin and Blackfly) and a Time
Trial. The younger swimmers participated
in 3 local mock swim meets, travelled to Ottawa for the fun Candy Cane meet and
hosted out of town developing swimmers at our Sundaes on Sunday fun meet. The team trained for 450 hours in the Deep
River pool to make those big waves!
The coaches: A
coaching team of 18 was led by Mitch Blimkie, Chela Breckon and Heather Pentney
(nee Keeling). This dedicated trio ensured coaches were trained, planned
practises, coached, attended training camps, communicated with parents (~5000
emails between coaches, staff, executive and parents!), attended swim meets and
volunteered numerous hours for meetings, special events and fundraisers. The coaching team develops the swimmers so
they can make those big waves!
The executive:
A dedicated group of adults formed a strong executive this year:
-
Janice Breckon – President
-
Lisa Ackman – Vice-President
-
Doug Rodgers – Past President & Officials Chair
-
Chela Breckon – Treasurer & co-head coach
-
Mitch Blimkie – Co-head coach
-
Melinda Boor – Secretary
-
Diane Davis – Meet Manager
-
Johanne Charbonneau and Nicole Adams – Registrars
-
Lynda Lance – Swim-a-thon coordinator
-
Katrina Steele – Fundraising/publicity
The executive met monthly, ensured swimmers were registered,
organized and ran the local swim meets and time trials and ensured the swimmers
could make those big waves!
The parents:
Each swimmer requires the support of parents/grandparents to get them to
practises and meets, encourage their development and celebrate in their
achievement. The team needs parents to
volunteer at meets and support fundraising efforts. A big thank you to the parents for the many
ways they enable the swimmers to make big waves!
Stay tuned for details of the CANDU 2012/13 program. It promises to be exciting and will continue
the team motto: Small Town Big Waves!

BLACKFLY ASSISTANCE! PLEASE READ AND RESPOND
PLEASE RESPOND TO THE DESIGNATED EMAIL ADDRESS OR SIMPLY EMAIL THE CLUB'S GENERAL ACCOUNT (deeprivercandus@gmail.com) AND WE'LL FORWARD TO THE APPROPRIATE PERSON! MUCH APPRECIATED!
Here are a few things we need assistance on for the upcoming Blackfly - please volunteer/contribute in any way you possibly can. The Blackfly Swim Meet is a revenue maker (any swim meet is) and is the main reason why our club fees are the lowest in the region (comparing against 22+ swim clubs) for the services we offer. The majority of regional clubs have a 'volunteer' contract committing a designated amount of hours from each family but we're asking you to contribute in any way possible. Thanks in advance. So far we have three out-of-town teams totalling over 60 swimmers confirmed in addition to our own - let's give them a warm welcome and a reason to return next year!
Fundraiser at Blackfly:
The Candu executive has added a new fundraising event to the Black Fly Swim Meet. It is a Chinese Auction!
A Chinese auction is a raffle with multiple prizes. People purchase tickets and the insert their tickets in the box that corresponds with the prizes they wish to win. They can buy as many tickets as they like. At the conclusion of the auction, one winning ticket is drawn from the "box" beside each item, and the item is given to the owner of that ticket.
The success of the event is greatly increased by the amount and the value of the prizes. We are seeking donations for the prize table. Perhaps you own a business, or are familiar with a business in the community where you could request a donation, or would like to donate a prize. Gift cards, themed gift baskets, sports apparel / memorabilia, oil changes etc. Your assistance in our fundraising activities is greatly appreciated.
It takes more than 30 volunteer officials for us to hold the Blackfly meet and everyone is essential to the meet's success. Did you know that we need 18 Timers per session!?! Training is a quick online course and combined with a short hands-on briefing on how to use a stop watch you are on your way to the best seats in the house!
Already trained as a timer? Then Stroke & Turn is for you. Learn the details of the legal strokes.
Everyone looks good in white! Check out: http://www.osoa.ca/web/
Please contact:
Canteen Contributions:
A list will be emailed out by the end of the week asking for canteen contributions. The Candu Swim Club is an allergy aware club.

The
annual Blackfly Meet is a chance for novice and experienced swimmers to enjoy
some friendly competition before the end of the annual swim season. Swimmers have an opportunity to measure their
annual progress in a comfortable, fun and energizing atmosphere. The swim meet is designed for all ages and
the Deep River Candu Swimmers can challenge a range of athletes from beginners
to national level.
MORE THAN JUST A MEET!
This two day meet provides not only an opportunity for performance but also a chance for some final team building for the 2011-2012 swim season. With a brand new venue and a task force of former Candu swimmers assigned just for this event we`re hoping to make this meet and BBQ the most memorable yet! End the year on the right wave, giving a reason why a swimmer must return or ignite their competitive nature for the 2012-2013 swim season.

- The LC Capital Qualifier on May 6 requires immediate action since the deadline is this coming Sunday (unexpected) which makes things a little difficult when choosing events especially when the Divs III competition hasn't occurred yet. Che will relay event choices to me by Sunday afternoon (based on Saturday and Sunday's performance) but please take the time to register and request the number of events prior to leaving for Divs. If you're too tight for time to log-on to Thriva simply email us and we'll manually do it for you. Please indicate to us whether you want to split a room at the Minto. As of now, Mitch can accommodate an additional family (May 5 to May 6) so it's available first-come, first serve.
- Blackfly entries are due May 1.
- Montreal P1/P2s - Accommodations are TBA. Entry deadline is evening of May 6 after the weekend's meet.
- LC EOSA - There is no published meet package but a bedroom from a two bedroom suite will be available - first come, first serve basis again for the Friday and Saturday evening.
Fast Swimming!
Che and Mitch
