Partners in Performance
While it has been a relatively quiet few weeks for most of us, we've been working hard to help find a way for everyone to keep fit and motivated in the coming months.
The start of the masters swim squad is one effort. More details can be in yesterday's post.
A key part of our overall approach has been looking for 'PARTNERS IN PERFORMANCE'. In a way, it is the Titans Own the Podium program.
Performance though is defined by you. It can be personal or competitive.
Our cornerstone partner is Challenge by Choice with Jen and JF - two seriously fit and enthusiastic believers in the importance of living each day to its fullest.
Specific details on our partnership with CBC and at least one other partner will be announced very soon.

Swimming starts soon
It's that time of year again.
The sun is sleeping in and also going to bed earlier. Opening night is fast approaching for the Canucks too.
And ... that's right, the Titans Masters swim squad is about to hit the water.
For a mere $99, you will have the opportunity for three coached sessions and one posted session a week. That works out to less than $1 a session because you'll be in the pool from early October until the end of May.
You can sign up for the squad through the Titans website
As for pool access, we are recommending swimmers opt for either the 10 or 20 economy passes. The 10 card pass is $44.35 ; the 20 card pass is $83.78. An annual pool pass is $511.10.
There will be no discounted annual pool pass this year despite efforts to secure one.

A message from our Masters' Coach
Dear swimmers,
I am pleased to be contacting you for the first time this season. In the upcoming months, I will have occasion to spend many hours with you and I hope that you and I will also have the opportunity to work together on a regular basis
A bit about me:
I now have many years of swimming literacy. Starting at the tender age of eight, I joined the Club Aquatique Montreal Olympique in Montreal in 1976. I swam for eight years under Tom Johnson as a head coach and spent many hours in the pool training and competing provincially, nationally and internationally. After many years away from swimming, I again started training in 2004 in Hong Kong with triathletes and it gave a new direction to my passion for aquatics. That’s when I realized that swimming as an adult is just not the same.
I spent six years studying different approaches to swimming and developed a new technique for efficient swimming. This technique applies very well to triathletes as it is based on efficient effortless swimming, more of a swim for life approach. I started my own swim coaching and instructing company here in Squamish called Garibaldi Advance Swimming and started working with swimmers as a personal coach.
Now, I am given the opportunity to take the helm of a well-established team and am very much looking forward to the challenges and thrills of coaching you. It is a new experience for me and I will try to live up to your expectations. I am very excited to bring to you my experience and hope to enhance your performance and maybe get some of you to start having fun with swim meets and pass on some of my passion as I help you attain your individual swim goals.
The Season
Our practices together will be 1 hour long, Monday & Wednesday evenings and Friday morning. I will post a work out for the Tuesday morning swimmers. Regardless of how many practices you can attend, I hope to bring excitement and improvement to every one of them.
I realize that the majority of you are triathletes and will train you as such. Distance, strength and efficiency is what I hope to bring you. For those of you who have dipped into the Masters Swim competition last year, I really hope you will continue and start enjoying more and more competitions this year. We have a good line up of meets:
Sunday Nov 13th – UBC Masters Swim Meet, Vancouver
Sunday Feb 12th – English Bay Swim Club ‘love to swim’ meet, Vancouver
March 30, April 1 – BC Provincials, Victoria
May 18-21 – Canadian Masters National Championship, Kelowna
I am also an avid fan of Open Water swimming and there will be a great opportunities in Open Water events next summer to get ready for.
Organization
The club is run by the Squamish Titans and the Executive Committee works hard at securing pool times, administering the costs and membership fees. Any questions regarding those can be taken up with the Committee directly.
Below is a short questionnaire. Please take the time to fill it our and return to me. It will give me a chance to get to know you, your goals and expectations.
Looking forward to meeting you each individually on the pool deck.
Keep swimming,
Roseline Grimm
Coach, Squamish Titans Swim Team
