CYPS Welcome From Head Coach

Hello swimmers and welcome to the 2009-2010 swim season! I look forward to seeing you all in the pool! Tryouts have officially begun for new swimmers and will continue through most of September.

Our coaches, board of directors, volunteers and parents believe that the sport of amateur swimming provides much more an opportunity to achieve personal goals and enhance skills. It provides an opportunity to affiliate with peers committed to a shared experience of competition and conditioning. It provides all athletes the opportunity to discover mental requirements necessary to cope with physical limitations experienced in training and competition. It provides athletes the opportunity to progress skills to the point that swimming proficiency is mastered.

Chatham YMCA Pool Sharks have a thirty-year history in developing local, regional and provincial level amateur swimmers. This success is a direct result of committed swimmers, coaches, board members, and volunteers. In addition, our strong partnership with the Chatham Kent Family YMCA has ensured that the program continues to grow and that accessible and convenient training times are available. In return, our members have represented the organization, municipality and surrounding areas consistently over these many years.

Each September we offer a tryout period for new and returning swimmers to familiarize you with our program, schedule, coaches, and facilities. Please take full advantage of the program offered at no cost or commitment. We encourage all participants at this time to enjoy the challenges of this sport and to attend our time trial event at the conclusion of three weeks to evaluate their personal progress. At the conclusion of this try out period, we are certain that you will find a welcoming environment in our club as well as a fun environment for your swimmer.

If you have any further questions or comments, just ask or send me an e-mail.

Sincerely,

Kim Wood
Head Coach
