Welcome
to our Swimmer Zone! "I
believe that each day presents a set of opportunities and choices to improve ourselves.
Our physical well being is directly related to our emotional and psychological
lives. The goals we set in our athletic careers and the improvements we make,
easily overflow into all aspects of our lives." |

of the Month |
| | My
apologies to all of you "swimmer of the month" fans, who have been waiting
anxiously for our next installment
.. After
logging many long hours in front of my computer (I can feel your sympathy while
writing this - haha), here is the swimmer of the month feature for February and
March 2008, which takes into consideration many exciting and standout moments
for both the P1 and ND groups. These two months were extremely busy with Central
regions, Provincials and Pittsburgh. Many
thanks as always for Steve Lim for taking all of the swimmers' photos and William
Williams for all his help with the website
Talk
to you in May.
So
- with that said here we go
