Sudbury Laurentian Swim Club

SLSC was recently awarded a grant from the Ontario Trillium Foundation. These funds will assist our club in navigating the uncharted waters of the new COVID-19 world. Over the past seven years, projects funded through the Ontario Trillium Foundation have made significant contributions to the well-being of Ontarians. Thank you Ontario Trillium Foundation!!!

We are excited to share that Sudbury Laurentian Swim Club has been selected by The Canadian Tire Jumpstart Sport Relief Fund @CTJumpstart to receive a grant from their Sport Relief Fund program. The fund helps sport organizations like ours continue to provide access to sport and play for Canadian swimmers. #SportReliefFund

Traditionally the scholarship would be announced at the Jeno Tihanyi Long Course swim meet however this year that did not happen. Thank you to everyone who submitted an application and the 5 member selection committee who selected the two recipients.

Congratulations to Noémie Ringuette and Jenna Wall!

Hi there. Below are some links to some dryland options for your swimmers while we are away from the pool. It should be noted that it is important that you realize that these programs are NOT mandatory and should be done in a safe controlled environment.

These are some articles I have found that may be helpful. The second one is inclusive for ALL ages and broken down by age groups with some exercise ideas for each age group.
