Dear Parents,

From 6 Sept 2010 we are finally going to start with definitive group and schedule.
Please check where your son/daughter is located and the time slot when there is
his/her group’s practice.
 
I recommend to buy a pair of fins (you can see the model first time you come at the pool)
and hand paddles to bring every time, excluding
Friday and competition’s days of course.

 
I wish you have a good time in our team for the incoming competitive season.
best regards

Dear Parents,

For those parents who stayed and whose children keep swimming in the Seals Team: our first meet in the 2010-2011 season will be a home meet next Saturday (4 Sep) against the NATO Marlins and a handful of swimmers from ESB. The meet will be run with a regular meet shell, but no 400M events and relays are offered. Please indicate if your child(ren) intend(s) to participate in this event. Swimmers can swim a maximum of 3 events. You are free to indicate if you have any preferences for events, but the final decisions will be made by the coaches.

The second meet will be the day after (5 Sep) in Brussels in the NATO pool organised by the NATO Marlins. This one is a penthatlon meet (for swimmers 12 and under: 50 FR, FL, BR, BK, and 100 IM; for swimmers 13 and above 100FR, FL, BR, BK, and 200 IM). Swimmers can choose to swim all five events or less if they so wish.

Please sign-up your swimmers for both meets by responding to the e-mail seals_swimming@hotmail.com NLT 2000 Wednesday 1 Sep.

GO SEALS!

Additional information about the NATO Marlin meet:

  • Warm-up time for SHAPE 09.25 hrs, meet starts at 10:00 hrs.
    ALL swimmers must wear swim caps.
  • Concessions will be provided – guidance will be provided at the pool.  Everyone must wear footwear and wear a T-shirt or other garment to cover their bathing suit.  There is a restaurant co-located with the pool.  Food and drinks may be purchased, as desired.  Only Euros accepted.
  • There will be no bus to this meet. It is about a one hour drive from SHAPE. Please bring your SHAPE ID.  A parking area is available adjacent to the pool.
  • Address: NATO HQ Staff Center, Avenue D. Bourget/Bourgetlaan, 1110, Belgium:
    The NATO HQ Staff Center is located between Zaventem Airport and Brussels (Evere).  Entrance to the NATO HQ Staff Center is via the slip road Avenue D. Bourget/Bourgetlaan parallel to the Boulevard Leopold III.

    • Regardless of direction, take Exit 4 on the Brussels Ring road.
    • At Exit 4, take the A201 direction Brussels & Evere; heading west.
    • Travel down the A201 for about one or two kilometers until you reach the first set of traffic lights.
    • At the lights, turn left as if you were trying to enter NATO HQs Main Gate (you will notice the flags flying).
    • Having crossed the opposite lanes of the A201, you need to make an immediate left turn onto a slip road (Avenue D. Bourget/Bourgetlaan), parallel to the A201. You will immediately reach another set of
      traffic lights. At this point, you will be about 10 meters + from the NATO HQ Main Gate and heading east on Avenue D. Bourget/Bourgetlaan.
    • Continue straight on the slip road for about 400 meters or so until you reach the next entrance into the NATO area with a small guardhouse on your right.  This is the entrance to use.  The pool is located in
      big building immediately in front (the NATO Staff Centre). Once past the Security Check Point, you can use either the left or right parking lot.
    • ALLOW SUFFICIENT TIME FOR AT CHECKOUT POINT FOR CONTROL TO PROCEED.
      See  http://www.nato-marlins.com

  • Security: All persons aged 12 years old or older entering the NATO Staff Center Sports Complex must hold a NATO or SHAPE members or family pass, or have been previously identified to the NATO Office of Security (NOS) and placed on a list.  If those attending are NATO ID or NATO Family pass card holders, access should not be a problem. If however, persons attending are civilian or do not possess a NATO ID or NATO Family pass, it is imperative that their name be passed to the security police at NATO HQ. Therefore, it is requested that you submit a roster of all persons who plan to attend the meet with passport number and date of birth for each. This list must be passed to the security office at least 5 working days prior to the event.  Therefore all swimmers who are participating in or visitors watching the event must be pre-registered.
  • Thank you and see you at the pool!
