YSC TEACHES KIDS TO LOVE

SWIMMING FOR LIFE

Some swim schools only teach two swim

strokes but the importance of learning all

four strokes early cannot be over

emphasised. Our philosophy is that

swimming should be a multi dimensional

experience is shown by the results of our

young swimmers who are mastering skills

in many areas, not just pool swimming.

Long time YSC swimmer Oscar Dart

remains unbeaten in the tri-athlon series

he competes in. Oscar started coming to

Y.S.C. when he was 6. Now in his early

teens he still trains with us in co-operation

with his tria-thlon coach Matt Tippett –

who was himself coached by one of our

teachers!

YSC swimmer and member of

Williamstown SLSC Chris Breeden was

crowned Junior life saver of the year.

Many other YSC members also enjoy life

saving including Lucinda & Natasha

Rourke, and Chelsea Coulsen, all of whom

were age group champions at the club.

Angus Campbell, who commenced his

competitive swimming with Y.S.C. and has

moved on to teaching water polo with us

when needed, has been picked in the

Victorian Water Polo team.

Ella McDonough started swimming at age

4 with Y.S.C and has now been named

Victorian 11 year old swimmer of the year

by Swimming Victoria. Her competency at

all four strokes is a credit to the teachers

in her early learning.

Amelie Le Grand and Lloyd Deunk still

remain undefeated at the 200m Medley.

PART OF THIS PHILOSOPHY IS OUR

MARINE BIOLOGY AND SURFING

PROGRAMS, NOW UNDERWAY

It is not too late to join in, forms are

available at reception.

This year, the Marine Biology class has

seen an exhibition of shark eggs and sea

horses and shark jaws and other

interesting things. The kids got lessons in

breathing through a snorkel and looking

through a mask. So far the kids have

been up close with stingrays, fish and

banjo sharks.

Surfing has had ideal conditions with

advanced kids on the outer bar and

beginners on the shore break.

Congratulations to our Marine Biology

teacher

placed with Cook University in

Townsville, to study Marine Biology!
