Tomorrow, Tanya heads of to the beautiful hills of Eindohoven (it is actually flat, the whole country is) in The Netherlands for the IPC World Championships.
She will be swimming in 100 BR (day 2, 16 August), 50 FLY (day 6, 20/8), 100 FR (day 5, 19/8) and 50 FR (day 3, 17/8) plus likely relays. The competition starts on August 15 and continues to August 21. The heats start at 9am (5pm our time) and the finals start at 5pm (1am). I know what you are all thinking, she will miss out on voting. Apparently there have been postal votes sorted out.
Joking aside, this is a colossal effort. There are many people out there that admire Tanya's efforts from afar and now its time to let her know.
When I was a kid, there were things called Herograms that you could send to your favourite Olympians/Commonwealth Gamesians/World Championshipers. I would like to start that here in our little club too. I would like everyone out there to write to Tanya and wish her well. I am sure that all swimmers out there at Bayside would love to wish her well in an email.Tanya's address is tans53@hotmail.com and I am positive that she will appreciate every one of the emails.
I will be trying to sort out updates for everyone as they happen but I think the best place for results will likely be www.wcswimming2010.com which is the official website. I hope that they have a live results website up and going by the time the comp starts. Can't find anything yet though.
Thanks,
Gus
Coaches, can you forward this to your swimmers please?
