Last Tuesday marked the end of another successful year of Sailfish swimming with the final training session followed by the year end awards banquet to recognize outstanding achievements and new swim records for age groups. Thank you to our Aquatics manager Coach Hazel and the team of Sailfish swim coaches that have put in many hours of time on pool deck and on weekends to train our swimmers and attend the various meets this year. Your support for all our squad swimmers is much appreciated. We look forward to another great year of Sailfish swimming next year.
