Congratulations to Junior Olympic Swimmers and Zone Competitors

FKSC (Florida Keys Swim Club) had several swimmers who qualified to swim at Junior Olympics in Fort Lauderdale July 23-26. We had three qualifiers for finals: Kelsea Volland, Tori Volland, and Evin Zekthi. Unfortunately weather dominated finals on Saturday evening and the swimmers did not have the opportunity to come back and show their true dominations of the pools. As the weather dictated, FKSC was successful in bringing home 1 Gold Medal, 3 Silvers, and several 4-8 place finishes. We are very proud of the many personal best times marked by the FKSC team. While the these times may not have earned points, a medal, or a ribbon, they do prove how champion swimmers continue work hard to remove seconds from personal times. Personal best times are acccomplishments and proof that training hard is rewarding! Keep up the hard swimming FKSC!

CONGRATULATIONS to KELSEA Volland for achieving 2nd High Point at the Junior Olympics and for her representation and support at Zones in Orlando Florida. Her experience was a personal gain in making new friendships and appreciation for coach techniques and challenges. Thank you Kelsea for swimming hard and representing the Southern Region and FKSC in swimming!

A Sad Good Bye to Mark and Welcome Jon Olsen

We are sad to say good bye to Mark Hill who has been with our club for 2 years. Mark has developed FKSC into a functioning developmental team that has performed well at meets around the southern division of the State of Florida. As FKSC transitions, we are proud to be lead by Jon Olsen, a Gold Medalist from the Olympics and veteran coach to these athletes. Jon will continue Mark's vision for the swimmers of FKSC. He will work side by side with Nick'O' through September 2009 before he announces his appointed assistant coach.
