The BBQ and Car Wash, which took place yesterday,  were a big success. Although

business was slow at first, it

greatly picked up with several cars arriving at once requesting a wash. Several people

gave generous tips to the swimmers who participated in the car wash. At least a total of

15 cars were washed during this activity. Several parents who attended the fundraising

activity registered their children for swimming in addition to having their car cleaned.

The swimmers enjoyed themselves greatly during the car wash! They worked

excellently and pleased their clients. They started a Water Fight and joked that while

playing they had washed the car by accident.

Duke, the SFF mascot, entertained the younger children with his pleasant barking and

tail-wagging.

After all the hard work, the swimmers and the coached dove into the sea for a

refreshing bath. In short EVERYONE had FUN!!
 
   The 12th Annual International Inter-Club Meet was an exiting event which enabled

our swimmers to compete against the cream of the crop from other caribbean club.

Although SFF did not walk away with the trophy all our swimmers made great

improvements in the times and, most importantly, enjoyed themselves.

   The swim meet took place for four (4) consecutive days from Thursday the 7th of

April to Sunday the 10th of April. Swimmers were allowed to stay at the homes of two

(2) very generous people.

Half of the swimmers stayed at Ms. Diana Wilson's home while the other half was

enjoyed the tremendous hospitality at the appartment of Dr. Marshall, an SFF parent.

   In total SFF received 116 medals. Among them were 9 Gold, 13 Silver, 18 Bronze and

various 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th and 8th places.

In general, our swimmers performed acceptably and were well behaved. We hope that

our next "big" meet will be as successful.
