Michael Lockwood Memorial Swim Meet 2008   As always the MLM Swim Meet was a great success with over 70 swimmers attending this four day swim meet including 7 swimmers from two teams in Jamaica .  The competition was stiff and most of the swimmers put everything into their swims to ensure that they swam PB’s (personal best times) at the end of the day.   Despite this being the first long event swim meet of the season, a number of swimmers not only improved on their Life Time Best...

  TIME STANDARDS FOR 2009 - 2012 These are the standards that will be applied to various swim meets throughout the next four years as qualifying times.  They are also used as motivational standards.  All athletes must continuously strive to move up from one standard to the next in their different events.  For example, if a swimmer currently has a "B" time standard for the 100m Backstroke, their goal for this season should be to get up to a "BB" or "A" time for this event.   For more information...

Even though the swim meet was stopped after the breaststroke events due to poor weather conditions, all swimmers made a good start to the season in the first sprint meet of the 2008/2009 season.  With thunder and lightning in the skies above the pool and with thunderous swimming at lightning speed in the pool it was a great start to the season.  More than 70 swimmers attended the swim meet and a large number of swimmers swam life time best’s in this short event meet. Notable swims were those of...

  SSC’s Summer Swim Camp 2008 with guest Coach Chris Kemp turned out to be a great success.  With twenty athletes attending from all over including the Brac it was a blast with four hours of swimming and activities planned everyday.  Starting with a half hour stretching routine and followed by an hour of in pool technique training it certainly was a busy day for all taking part.  After snack time the athletes had another training session followed by lunch and some fun and games to end off the day. ...
