Updates: Swim-A-Thon, Dryland, Team Jackets

The blogmeister apologizes for not updating the blog with important information in a timely fashion.  Unfortunately, e-mails got buried in the inbox.  However, they have been found and info is here!

Swim-A-Thon
All information is under the Swim-A-Thon link above. Pledges are currently being accepted and we are currently at about 15% of our goal.  To get us pumped and ready, some snapshots from last year's exciting Swim-A-Thon are posted throughout this entry.


DRYLAND
The Candu philosophy may be Fast and Fun Swimming, but it also maintains a focus on Safety.  Dryland activation is a significant component of injury prevention for athletes.  The Candu club is very pleased to welcome Lori Meyers, a dryland specialist from the Swim Ottawa swim club, to a training session here in Deep River.

TEAM JACKETS
Keeping swimmers warm on deck and providing a sense of pride in their team; team jackets are functional and fun.  The Candu Executive has arranged for the purchase of new team jackets (warmer than previous, and for those swimmers who may have grown!).  Jackets expected in time for Blackfly.
