Synchro

Important Synchro Information!

As we arrive to the Synchro competition part of the summer, there are some important things we need to let you know:

JUNIOR PRELIMS

Are at Glenmore Pool (120 Rue Glenmore, Dollard-des-Ormeaux, QC H9B 2X9)

SENIOR PRELIMS

Are at Elm Park Pool (532 Rue Montcalm, Dollard-des-Ormeaux, QC H9G 1K3)

ESTIMATED COMPETITION TIMELINE for both Prelims:

8:00 AM – Pool Opens for the public
8:20 AM – Coaches Meeting
8:30 AM – Warm-Up for Solo & Duet
9:00 AM – Solo & Duet competition starts (about 1 hour)
** Break for Lunch & Team warm-up (about 1 hour) **
~ 11:00 AM – Team competition (about 30-45 min)
~ NOON – Awards

The senior competition will be shorter than the timeline above. To ensure that your swimmers do not miss their event, I recommend having them show up early and keep in contact with your coaches at the pool. I will not be available on the day of the competition to send updates.

MUSIC BACKUP

By now, you should have all sent your music to the host pools. Please bring your backup on a USB key. All the events can be on the same USB to simplify things, but please label them the same way you did when you sent them to the host pool.

Synchro Draws are now online

We’ve got updated Synchro Draw information for you on the Synchro Page.  The Pre-Junior Finals Draws, the Junior Prelim Draws and the Senior Prelim Draws are now all on the Synchro Page.  Remember, we call them draws because we literally draw the competitor names out of a hat.  (Ok, not literally, it’s a piece of paper usually in a zip-lock bag, but you get the idea).  This random sequencing sets up the competitors in the other they’ll compete in Solo, Duet and Team competitions.  Go to the Synchro Page to get all the details.  It’s important to note that every year there are changes to the draws as some competitors will elect not to compete.  We’ll update the order of events as quickly as we can should this happen.

Swimming

Swim Team Week 1 results!

We’re back underway at last.  Our first week of Swim Team results are in.  That’s the first time since July 2019 that we’ve had results to post so we’re pretty excited around here.  You’ll find all the Swim Team results as we move forward in the summer on the Swim Team page.

Synchro Senior Prelims now at ELM

We’ve had to make a change to the location of the Senior Synchro Prelims on July 31st.  They will now be held at Elm Park.  The date, times and other information about the event are all the same.  We’ve update the calendar to reflect the change.  Thanks to Elm Park for stepping up!

Waterpolo

Waterpolo Coaches Meeting June 27 / ELM

Please note that the water polo coaches meeting will be Monday, June 27th at 7pm at Elm Park Pool.
It is important that each pool try to have at least 1 coach present. If a pool cannot send a coach please get in touch with Xavier or myself and we will make sure the information gets communicated.
Please have the coaches come to the meeting with an idea of which teams they will have so that we can better plan the summer game schedule (U12, boys U14/U16, girls U14/U16)
