We are excited to invite you to our Candy Cane Swim Lanes, happening on Sunday, December 15, starting at 9:00 AM! This festive mini meet is a wonderful opportunity for all swimmers to enjoy friendly competition, celebrate the holiday season, and have fun in the pool.
Event Details:
What: Candy Cane Swim Lanes
When: Sunday, December 15, starting at 9:00 AM
Who: Open to all Cowichan Breakers swimmers
Races:
All four strokes (freestyle, backstroke, breaststroke, and butterfly) for Development and up, Pre-Breakers will swim only 2 strokes
Distances include 25-meter or 50-meter sprints
For our Pre-Breaker 2 swimmers, races will be limited to 25-meter distances, with the support of an older co-swimmer to guide and encourage them. This ensures even our youngest swimmers can join the fun in a supportive and confidence-building environment.
We’ll also be hosting a Family Swim from 10:00–11:00 AM, where swimmers and their families can enjoy relaxed pool time together. All swimmers must be accompanied by an adult during the Family Swim. Families wishing to stay past 11:00 AM will need to pay for additional entry at the front desk.
After the meet, we’ll celebrate with hot chocolate and a small treat, and every swimmer will receive a medal to commemorate their participation!
Pre-Breaker Sessions
Pre-Breaker 1 & 2 sessions will run as normal, with some modifications for those PB's who do not want to or cannot participate will still swim their normal session times if they choose to, but we will still have a treat for them as well!
Volunteers Needed!
To make this event a success, we’ll need volunteer timers. This is an excellent opportunity to learn how to time races, especially for those interested in helping during our summer sessions. No prior experience is necessary—we’ll provide guidance on the day of the event.
Please fill out the following form to confirm your swimmer’s participation or to let us know if you’re available to volunteer: https://forms.office.com/r/dm0krEPYiD
This meet is all about fun and participation, celebrating every swimmer’s progress and enthusiasm. We can’t wait to see you at the Candy Cane Swim Lanes for a festive day of fun, family, and swimming!
Looking forward to seeing you at the pool,
Cowichan Valley Board and Coaches
