" We strive to create the environment from which champions grow."

Don Martin

Seal of the Month: June 2008
Anna has come a long way since the shy young swimmer that started with the club a few years ago. She has recently put extra effort into her workouts, moved up a level and is swimming like she means business.

Don't let her quiet exterior fool you - this girl is not only smart, but has determination, drive, and focus—both in and out of the pool. Coaches are looking forward to watching her develop, as she steadily gains confidence and demonstrates that her commitment and best effort can produce best performances.

Congratulations Anna.

Seal of the Month: April 2008
Max is the consumate athlete, and has excelled in the pool. He is a great stroke technician, and strives to do his very best at every practice.

He is attentive, calm and disciplined, and able to take on any challenge thrown at him whether sprint or distance.

This April, his commitment to his relay team motivated him to swim in three races, including his first-ever individual event. Congratulations Max.


Seal of the Month: March 2008
Merideth has the kind of dedication and desire to succeed that we hope for in a swimmer. Since joining the club in January, she has come a long way in just one session.

Her positive attitude, smile, and willingness to work has helped her excel in practice. She gives every set her all, constantly keeps trying, and you should see her flip turns!

Congratulations, Merideth - keep up the good work!


Seal of the Month: February 2008
By the time Lauren steps up on the blocks for her first event on March 1st (which is also her birthday) she will have trained over 80,000 yards since January.

She is always at practice and consistently exhibits dedication, self-motivation and good sportsmanship. Lauren's great work ethic means she tries her best every day, always with a cheery smile and positive attitude - no matter how tough the work-out.

With silver times in the bag - Coaches predict gold on the horizon very soon!


Seal of the Month: January 2008
This month we are recognizing Olivia who recently joined the Vashon Seals Swim Team and has just attended her first meet, taking on a 200 Free, 100 IM, 50 Fly, 50 Back and a 50 Free!

As Liv has consistently exhibited the kind of positive attitude, dedication and good work ethic we hope for in our swimmers, she has quickly graduated to Level 3.

Congratulations Olivia, you have earned this honor. Keep up the hard work!
