Did you know that you can look up your swimmer's best times online? Here is an easy way to do it. Google "Search an Athlete Swim Canada". This will take you to a page where you can fill in the information and you will be taken to the most up to date best times of your swimmer. You can then check these against the posted Regional Qualifying Times posted on the bulletin board at the pool (or from the link on the blog) to see how close your child is to qualifying for Eastern Ontario Regional's (or even higher level meets).

Upcoming Events
May 3rd: N.E.W. Blue and White Spirit Meet 4-6 pm. This is a fun, non-official meet for all Stingrays! The coaches will organize races and relays combining all groups into teams. Afterwards, there will be pizza in the multipurpose room for all participating Stingrays. This meet is in honour of Nicole Wren, who was the epitome of "team spirit".
June 2nd: The Perth Triathlon: Traditionally, Stingray families have come out to volunteer at this triathlon as a way to acknowledge the monetary contributions from the Perth Triathlon. The bleachers, for example, were bought through funds raised by the Perth Triathlon. See the information poster for those interested in registering to compete. The official minimum age for competing is 12, since it is an open course (for the running and biking part). Stingrays who are younger may compete in the swimming portion of the triathlon (500m swim in the pool) or as part of a team. Please see Shannon Baillon at thebaillons@gmail.com for more details if you want to register a team for the Perth Tri or will be available to volunteer.
Date TBA: Team Picture: We will be announcing a date for our Team Photo (to be held sometime in May)
Date TBA: End of the Year Awards Banquet (early June--will confirm date soon!)
