MASTERS SWIM

It's Can-Do February! Calling all Lap Swimmers to join the fun. Swim 2000 yards, and donate a can.

Congratulations to our 2006 Swimmers of the Year, Murray McLachlan and Lisa Sheeper.

TRIATHLON

The season kicked off in January with a presentation highlighting individual coaching by Mark Evans and metabolic assessment by Endurance Performance Training Centers. The new offerings perfectly complement the group program of Team Sheeper.
