Archive for April, 2009Congratulations to all the Aquabelles who competed at the Wildrose Classic in Calgary last weekend! Some results highlights include: Tier 1 Tier 2 Tier 3 Great job girls! We are very proud of all of you! Keep it up and best wishes as you continue on to the MASY Challenge! UPDATE: Full results details are now available from the Events Page! The CBC is running a weekly video series featuring Olympian Mark Tewksbury called “Top of Your Game“. In it, Mark chats with CBC’s Heather Hiscox discussing inspirational ideas and tools you can use in your daily lives. The series is based on his book, The Great Traits of Champions, which he co-wrote with Debbie Muir. If that name sounds familiar to you, she was a former head coach of the Calgary Aquabelles! You can catch Mark’s video series here on the CBC website.
On Saturday, March 14th, 2009, the Tier 6 Aquabelles volunteered their time to swim their synchro routines at the Renoir Retirement Residence. The water show was put on to celebrate the newly renovated pool at the Residence. There were many people there that included the residents of the Renoir, their families and friends, and also the family members of the swimmers.
Everyone really enjoyed the show and many people expressed how amazed they were by their performances. In particular, it was exciting to see all the “old folks” enjoying the show and having a good time – I wouldn’t be surprised if it was their first time seeing Synchronized Swimming in real life.
As the coach of this water show, I truly appreciate the time and dedication these athletes devote to synchronized swimming and the lengths they are willing to go to share their sport with the community. It really came together in the end for a great show and a good time! Laurel Hindle |
