18TH ANNUAL COLLINGWOOD CLIPPERS

We are going to need lots of help out at the 18^th Annual Clipper Outdoor Swim Meet (June 20^th and 21^st).  This is a very unique swim meet and everyone will be guaranteed to have tons of fun!

There will be a Parents meeting on TUESDAY, JUNE 1^st AT 5:30PM AT THE COLLINGWOOD YMCA (if it's nice outside, the meeting will take place at the ball diamond bleachers, otherwise it will be in the racquet ball court).  Please do whatever you can to attend this meeting (especially new parents). 

There will be a special practice for the entire team at the Centennial Outdoor Pool on the Friday, June 18^th at 6pm, where the athletes will swim in for an hour, while the wonderful parents set-up for the meet.  Pizza will be available afterwards.  Please arrive at no later than 5:30pm for the team photo. 

Each year it has been a custom to have each Clipper parent sponsor an event or two at the swim meet.  Each parent can decide whether they would like to pay the $25.00 per event or if they want to approach other family members, friends, businesses etc to sponsor the $25.00.  Cheques/cash can be placed in the mail folder at the Y labeled "Outdoor Meet" and should include your swimmers' name, business or family information, and what event you would like to sponsor.  For example: Grandparent might like to sponsor an event that their grand child is swimming in.  We will do our best to accommodate requests. 

We will also need baked goods for all of the volunteers.  Please drop these off the Saturday or Sunday morning of the meet.  We encourage all families to volunteer for two full sessions (please note that the $50 meet fees will be waived for families who volunteer their time).  More details will be available soon and sign up sheets will be posted on the Clipper bulletin board at the Collingwood YMCA.

Waterloo - The Clippers Swim Club had 27 members compete at the 2010 Huronia Region LC Championships.  The team managed to get well over 70 percent best times.  Gold medal winners were Marian Cooper in the 100m breaststroke, Liesbeth Froentjes in the 100m freestyle and Melodie O'Connell in the 800m freestyle.  Cooper also three silver medals in the 200m breaststroke, 200m IM and the 400m IM, while Froentjes achieved silver in the 200m freestyle and 100m butterfly, plus two bronze in the 50m freestyle and 200m IM.  O'Connell also attained a bronze in the 100m butterfly.

Amber Champion grabbed silver in the 100m freestyle, 100m and 200m backstroke, plus a bronze in the 200m freestyle.  Carly Foubert took home the silver in the 400m IM, while Trevor Langford earned the silver in the 800m freestyle.  Larkin Casey earned two bronze medals in the 50m and 100m breaststroke.  Sebastian Carrasco and Ben Cuthbert each attained a bronze medal in the 200m butterfly and 100m breaststroke respectively.  Clippers who achieved 100 percent best times were Molly Bouchard, Larkin Casey, Anneke Froentjes, Teda Froentjes, Jason Langford, Trevor Langford, Alex Marshall, Heidi Ohrling, Julia Simpson and Rachel Simpson. 

Other Clippers who attended were Lexie Ausrotas, Alexander Carrasco, Emily Cuthbert, Amy Foubert, Avila Holland, Kirsten McFarlane, Lauren Mills, Nicole Rennie, Madison Whitton and Emma Woodhouse.  A dozen Clippers also competed in Buffalo last month.  It was neat to see the athletes race against some American competition.  The club also hosted a small meet in Orangeville at the beginning of May where 50 Clippers participated.  The club is really looking forward to the possibility of a new six lane, 25 metre pool to avoid having to go out of town to hold meets in the non warm months. 

The Clippers host their 18^th Annual Outdoor Swim Meet on June 19^th and 20^th at the newly renovated Centennial Pool.  Teams from all across Ontario will be coming to town for the competition.  The swim club encourages everyone to come down and check out the action!

Sascha Keir is ranked 5^th in Canada in the recently published Swim News magazine.  Amber Champion was named to the Huronia Region Summer Games Swim Team along with Ben Cuthbert, who unfortunately had to decline due to other commitments.  Brandon Oates was also named Head Coach of the team, which includes athletes from Barrie, Orillia, Peterborough, Muskoka, Owen Sound and Port Elgin.  The Clippers wrap up their season in July with Long Course Provincial Championships.  Next season begins in September and the club will have limited space, but will welcome new recruits!
