“Last season, we had over 75 swimmers participate in the Junior Lifeguard Club and participants of the competitive program experienced successes at the regional and provincial level; and of course a select few went on to compete at the National level.”
Like so many other sports and activities, the pandemic took a toll on the Camrose Tsunami Junior Lifeguard Club, which is now in the stage of rebuilding.
“During the years the pool was closed for renovations, a small group of dedicated members were embraced by the Wetaskiwin Orcas Junior Lifeguard Club where they were able to continue their training,” explained Barr.
She said the Junior Lifeguard Club continues to enjoy a positive relationship with the Wetaskiwin Club and joined together with Drayton Valley to compete as a larger club at Nationals this year.
“This gave athletes the opportunity to compete in team events. We are hoping to grow our club so when we compete nationally, it will be under the Camrose swim cap.”
For the World Championships in Italy, the athletes selected will have the opportunity to compete in pool events and ocean rescue.
“This is a great opportunity for our athletes; and it will expand their skills and knowledge that they can further use in their part-time role at the Mayer Aquatic Centre, as each of them are a part of the lifeguard team,” shared City of Camrose Aquatics manager Marcia Peek, who said it is also a huge opportunity for Camrose to be showcased on the World stage. “It is exciting for our club, our pool and our community.”
Barr said the Club will continue to support the current athletes on their journey while looking at younger age groups to become part of the club.
“We are seeing a number of talented and dedicated athletes who are eager to bring their competition to the next level. We are so excited for the future for these athletes and for our club.
“The athletes heading to World’s are eager to bring their knowledge, experience and passion back to share with the club. It is going to be a splashtastic season,” smiled Barr.
Registration for the Camrose Tsunami Junior Lifeguard Club is set for September.
