Danielle Hanus
February swimmer of the month honours go to Danielle Hanus in the AG3 group. Danielle is being spotlighted for her excellent racing at the Ontario Junior Provincial Championships held in Ottawa Feb 24 – 27, 2011. Danielle’s performances at the meet highlight where heartfelt and goal oriented racing, backed up by excellent attendance and focused training can take you! By the end of the meet, in her seven individual races she dropped over 25 seconds from her personal best times. This, in light of the over 35 seconds she had already whittled away from those best times in those events over the season, was an outstanding and inspiring accomplishment. Her performances at the meet also resulted in five medal winning performances, including earning the title of Provincial Champion in the 400 IM and Provincial Champion in the 200 IM.
Great swimming Danielle! Keep up the great work!

Madeleine Ganzhorn
I am pleased to give the February swimmer of the month to Madeleine Gonzhorn. She was welcomed into the group in December coming up from splash, and has just done an outstanding job! She has worked very hard on her technique, kick and strokes and continues to improve each practice. Also, her butterfly continues to amaze me!
Congratulations Maddy! Keep up the fantastic swimming!
