Sechelt Team Retreat

Sechelt Retreat
September 26-28
Pursuit, Typhoon Swimmers
This is a team building weekend that is a big highlight to start the season for swimmers in Pursuit and Typhoon. 

Swimmers are dropped at Horseshoe Bay Ferry Terminal at 4:00pm on Friday, September 26. They will walk onto the 4:45pm ferry as a group. Swimmers will walk onto the 3:35pm ferry in Gibsons and can be picked up at Horseshoe Bay at 4:15pm on September 28.

Swimmers will stay in Sarah and Rob Hynd's 'barn' which is a big developed building with two large open space floors, a kitchen, bathrooms and a bedroom for a chaperone. In the past all of the girls would stay downstairs and the boys upstairs with about 10-15 swimmers spread out on each floor on their own mattresses and bedding. Brad, Sarah and Rob will stay at their house just a short walk from the barn. Transportation to and from the ferry, house, pool and activities is provided by Chinook parents and any chaperones. Food is prepared by Chinook parents throughout the weekend. We will have a pool session both mornings Saturday and Sunday, dryland training, some team building, goals and activities based on the weather. 

Swimmers need to bring the following: basic swim gear (suit, goggles, cap, towels), dryland gear (running shoes, team shirt, shorts), warm clothes, sleeping bag, air mattress, pillow. Also good to bring a flashlight and a bit of money for ice cream and treats. Costs for training, meals, transportation and accommodation will come out of our swimmer development fund.

Please login to our website and register by Monday, September 22 if your swimmer would like to attend as we need to know numbers.
