Hi Everyone,
The Nanaimo White Rapids are excited to announce due to popular demand they will be offering adult swim sessions Tuesday and Thursday evenings from 7:45pm – 8:45pm starting Tuesday May 29th until Thursday, June 28th. This is an adult swim workout designed for swimmers to work on their endurance and technique as well as try learning some of the other strokes. Swimmers must be able to swim 100 meters comfortably (4 laps). This is a great place to start training for beginner triathlons like Qualicum, Comox or Panorama Classic in Sidney. Swimmers will learn starts and turns and begin to work on speed.
Evening Adult Swim Session Coaches are Gareth Saunders and Ian Mattock.
Cost is $80.00 for session set of 10. Or you can drop in if space allows for $10 a session.
Swimmer capacity has been set at 12. Get your spot ASAP!
Please contact Fraser Read at the Kin Pool to register!
Or phone 250-755-1946 or email dlsmarsh@shaw.ca and talk to Lisa Marshall to reserve your spot and pay on Tuesday, May 29th.
See you at the pool!
Head Coach Gareth Saunders
Hello NWRSC families,

Just a reminder that today, Wednesday May 23rd, is the last day to sign up for the Blue and White meet which is scheduled for this Saturday. Sign up sheet is located in the Meet Sign-Up binder on the bleachers at the pool.
For those of you who have signed up, make sure you bring your Nanaimo White Rapids T-Shirt on Saturday to show your team colours!
Hello NWRSC Families,
It has come to my attention that some of the new club members free t-shirts that were handed out at the beginning of this season are defective (cracking and lifting of club logo after washing).
Last year our club used a different printing company and we received a defective batch which were replaced, but it seems that these leftover shirts from last year are also defective.
We have switched companies and now deal with Brand Xpress and have had no problems with their products.If your swimmer has received a defective club t-shirt please label the t-shirt, swimmers’ first and last name and place in the orange box located on the bleachers beside the family folders.
I will need to have the defective t-shirts no later then the Blue & White meet. I will order your swimmer a new t-shirt and get it to them ASAP.
Sorry for any inconveniences this may cause.
Thanks,
Amy Nowicki
Apparel Coordinator
