A successful meet |
CCSC host swim meet at Fred Endert On Saturday and Sunday the Crescent City Swim Club Sharks hosted it’s 3rd Annual Invitational Swim Meet for Pacific Swim Zone 3. The invitational registered a total of 134 swimmers from six swim teams from Crescent City, Willits, Ukiah, Scotia, Humboldt, and Grants Pass, Ore., who competed at the newly remodeled Fred Endert Municipal Swimming Pool. Pacific Swim officials from across the state came to volunteer their time and expertise in officiating the event. “It was really fun and I loved how I got to swim a lot,” said first time meet swimmer Shelby Dooley, 11. “I’ll probably do it again.” Shelby’s mother, Suzie Dooley, was “very impressed with the positive attitude of all the children and families”
Long time CCSC coach Ron Radison said that “the team had an excellent meet and the swimmers swam their hearts out.”
After being away from the pool for many months and swimming only the last four months, there were concerns that the swimmers were not prepared for a meet, Radison said, adding that all the swimmers stepped up, had great swims, dropped times and won races. “I feel swimmer-for-swimmer we were the strongest team at the meet,” he said. The pool reopened earlier this year after undergoing more than $1 million in renovations. Coach Sarah Skudstad began her CCSC involvement as an early teen and is now coaching the “shark pups.” “I was really impressed with the big support and how well the kids listened to the coaches,” Skudstad said. “I honestly think this has been the smoothest home meet event we’ve ever hosted.” CCSC is run by a parent volunteer board. The coaches are a devoted group of volunteers, each of whom offer their particular strengths to the overall substance of what makes the CCSC team stay motivated, focused and disciplined swimmers. Coaches Ron Radison, Mason Philpot, Sarah Skudstad, LaVonna Butz and Stephanie Neumann all have great pride in what teamwork can accomplished. The CCSC Board of Directors, Amber Lucero, president, Yvonne Fickbohm, vice-president, Linda Blundell, treasurer, and Sandra Swift, secretary, all had their work cut out for them to organize, plan for and execute a meet. Meet marshall Sandra Swift was instrumental in delegating tasks and her experience in hosting a meet proved to be invaluable. Now it’s time to plan for the next meet in October. With the only pool available to host a swim meet for Pac Swim Zone 3, this is a great opportunity to give Del Norte kids a place to showcase their love of swimming. Yvonne Fickbohm is vice president of the board of director’s of the Crescent City Swim Club Sharks. Results for the Sharks swim club from last weekend’s meet.
