From the Coach...

Hello Swimmers,

We are ready for another great season of fun, fitness and competition. Our Chinook Swim Team is growing in numbers and in the quality of swimming.We welcome new members to our team and enjoy the returning of our seasoned swimmers. There is a place for all levels of competitors on the Chinook Swim Team. And the coaches are here to help you achieve your goals.

Jim Cornforth - Head Coach

In preparation for Chinook’s regular swimming season, we will have several outdoor swim meets with teams from the Bellingham area. These are very relaxed meets offering an opportunity for competition development and fun. All of our summer swimmers are encouraged to attend these summer swim meets.

We also will have some special activities throughout the summer, such as a trip to the slide park near Blaine, hiking trips, a picnic and Samish Lake swim.

In the Fall

Our 2009-2010 YMCA League Swim Season starts September 8, 2009. Our first meet is a season “kick off” meet called the Fall Festival. There are 5 or 6 dual swim meets (one or two a month) ending with the Statewide Championships in January.

We extend our season through March for those who wish to continue training or qualify for the Y Regional Meet. There is also an invitational swim meet which we attend in February.

All this and great training too! Join us!
