Sunday January 24, 2010 marks a special day. It was the first meet of the year, held in Alderwood in a 25 yard pool. Not only that - but there was a special Sign-up Competition going on between the Gator Gals and Guys. The winner is the group who has most participants at that meet and would get the privilege of designing next Sunday's warm-up work-out. Congratulation to the Guys - who won by a smidgen. Gators Guys Swimmer: Ralph,Terry, Wayne, Len, Seth, Todd, Kosta, Peter. Gator Gals Swimmer: Heather, Susan P, Martina. Thank you all swimmers for supporting NYG, collecting team points and being there for your peers. The whole group was supported by Coach Stephen who not only had praises and advise for all swimmers but also fought for one who was at first not allowed to swim due to a mix up with the MSO membership. Thank you Coach Stephen for being there for the swimmers, giving tips and making uplifting comments. The meet was fantastic. It was efficiently run and the Alderwood Teddy bears were very hospitable. Thank you Alderwood for putting on a great meet. Highlights of the meet: The men 4X100 free relay broke the Ontario Record. The ten Gators earned a lot of ribbons and points for the club. One Gator set an Ontario Record in 200 y free. In 50 y breast the men took first, second and third places. Even though it is so early in the season and we did not taper for this meet - there were many personal best. The camaraderie is second to none - everyone had good words for everyone. Two new NYG member's swam their first meet with us - and placed. Some Gators swam events they have not swam before and did extremely well. The men 4X50 free relay held on to their record from the previous year. Inspiring team meeting after the meet. In all - a very happy and successful swim meet! We were glad we went and hope to take other Gators along to Burlington February 7th.
