Sudbury Laurentian Swim Club

SLSC Officials on Ontario Swim Officials Association (OSOA)

Hello everyone,
I hope you are all enjoying things there in Sudbury as much as I’m enjoying the nice brisk weather here in northern Saskatchewan – no snow, yet!

Wayne Toner has been kind enough to help me out given my work schedule – so I thank Wayne.
OSOA has been discussing this item for a bit and now it’s reality. We swim parents now have to register on the OSOA web site and items such as qualifications and deck evaluations will be tracked on the site. I’ve been waiting for confirmation that the SLSC-google announce email list is up-to-date but time is of the essence.

The process is quite simple.

You should have received an email a month ago with your username and password. Go to the web site (www.osoa.ca) and login with your username and temporary password = password. You will then be asked to set a new password and the site will send a confirmation email to you. If for whatever reason you don’t have the email let me know as soon as possible. I will reply with your username and the temporary password above. Then you have to go the site www.osoa.ca login with your username and temporary password and set a new password. Same as above you’ll get a confirmation email.

Once you’ve logged in, I get an email from you prompting me, the Club Official Chair (COC) to approve you as a member for SLSC.

The catch and it’s a big one: everyone has to be approved by Oct-15th for Connie Zwarich to sanction the Oct-22 meet.

My request to you is simple enough: please log in and then the ball is in my court to approve you so we can get the meet sanctioned.

Any questions please send an email to rwhipple@sympatico.ca

Best regards,Rob Whipple
Officials Co-Chair

Welcome Back every one

Welcome to the 2011-2012 swim year! SLSC had a great summer and the coaches are really looking forward to getting back on deck and start working with the swimmers. Coach Eric and Dean are attending the American/World swim coaches conference in San Diego and are getting all sorts of great ideas to have an even better year this year. This year we have a new face on deck coaching the level 3 squad. We welcome Liam Wilson to the staff. As registration starts getting going we will be adding staff for the Novice group but I can announce for certain that Tess Jewel will be on deck. We are also starting a regular session of Swim Skills this year. This program is for 5-7 yr old swimmers and is filling up quickly.

Stay tuned for more information as it comes out.

SLSC Finishes year with a Bang

7 swimmers from SLSC spent the last week of July in Montreal for the Canadian Age Group Championships. The meet was a gathering place for the very best swimmers of all ages in Canada, 1700 in all.

Kasey Thompson made 3 finals (50,100, 200 fly) and took home the Silver in the 200 fly with a new NEOR record of 2:23.95. Alex Langlois made finals in the 100 and 200 backstroke. Other swimmers racing at the meet were Justin Burton McCarthy (personal bests in 100 fly, 200 free, 400 IM), Jordano Cazzola (personal best in 400 free and 200 back and 5km Open water), Julie Langlois (personal best in 50 fly), and Emilie Whipple.

Info for Families on the Swimming Canada Web Site

[Courtesy of Nancy and Susan]

There is some valuable information for swim families on the Swimming Canada web site. Most importantly, there is information of upcoming meets, past meets and your swimmers performance to date. Many parents are familiar with this information. If so, please ignore this message. However, if you have not accessed this site, it is well worth the time to explore a bit.

 

Please go to www.swimming.ca .

Here are some instructions to guide you in your search.

(1) To get upcoming meet packages: click the "events" tab on the main site, then select "meet list & results" , then select "upcoming meets", select Ontario as the region (swimon), and Northeastern as the region this will limit the meets to our region. Then click on "show" and you will see all the upcoming meetings. There is a column labeled "Pkg" and a date in that column. By clicking the date you can access the meet package. I have attached the East Side Mario's package as an example. This information can be downloaded several weeks in advance.

(2) To get previous meet results: select to the "Meet Results" tab and select Ontario, and NEOR, you can get the electronic results from prior meets.

(3) To get your swimmers best times for all events: select the "Records & Rankings" from the home page, and then select "search for an athlete", enter your swimmer's first and last name, then click on their name on the list to see your swimmers best performances.  

We hope this helps.
