Our Meet Report
Novice Swimathon Nov 30th
On Dec 3rd ROC hosted a meet and it was a huge
success. Thanks to all the parents that helped run
this event, we couldn’t have done it without so
many people lending their time and energy to this
event. The comments from the visiting teams were
very positive and the meet referee thought it was
very well run. Thanks to the Municipality of
Clarington for getting us the benches and the false
start rope and for tightening the starting blocks.
Our swimmers did very well and we had a few win
or place very well in their IRONMAN category –
Andrew Youssef 1st 10&U boys, Julia Soutter 2nd
11-12 girls, Abby Gowland 3rd 11-12 girls, Curtis
Gibson 1st 11-12 boys, Sam McMeekin 1st 13-14
girls, Pete Holbrook 1st 13-14 boys, Alex Youssef
2nd 13-14 boys, Cassidy Johnson 1st 15&O girls,
Nichole Webster 2nd 15&O girls, John Holbrook
1st 15&O boys, Josh McMeekin 2nd 15&O boys.
I was very impressed by the distances posted by our
Novice group in their Swimathon last week, and I trust
the parents and swimmers were as well. A great showing
of your improving endurance. Well done! Make sure
you get your pledge money in as soon as you can.

Lane Changes – Congratulations to:
None this week.
NER –For bettering their target times on
their sprints this past week (and it was 5
swims!) congratulations to: Pete Holbrook,
Cassidy Johnson, Alex Youssef
Chili contestants –
I have 5 contestants registered for our annual chili
contest (Dec 7th) to be held in conjunction with
our Christmas Party this coming Wednesday. We
need about 6 more to make this interesting. The
way it works is that swimmers and their family
members pay $5 for as much chili as they want –
sample as many as you want and vote for your
favourite. A fun and inexpensive meal for you
and your family.
