Silver Lake Rowing Club Recognized for Quality in Coaching

Rowing Canada Aviron recently announced its coaching award winners and levels of achievement recipients.
 
Among them was Sue Fairley of the Silver Lake Rowing Club in Port Dover, Ont., who has achieved Level 3 coaching certification from Rowing Canada Aviron. Achieving Level 3 means that Fairley has met the theoretical, technical and  practical criteria for coaching at that level as set out by Rowing Canada and the Coaching Association of Canada.  This year, 17 coaches received this certification from Rowing Canada, the national sports organization for rowing.
 
Sue Fairley's achievements at Silver Lake include coaching the following athletes:

• Anna Ardiel of Normandale CSSRA Gold medal winner who attended University of Louisville on a rowing scholarship
• Laurie Fisher of Port Ryerse CSSRA and US National Gold Medal winner who was a member of Canada's Junior National Team for two years and attended Duke University on a rowing scholarship
• Robbie Puddy, Terry Lovegrove of Simcoe and Ian Edwards of Langton members of CanAmMex teams and medalists at the CSSRA and US Nationals
• Hannah Anderson, Samy Fairley of Port Dover - CSSRA and Stotesbury medalists

Fairley received her certificate at Rowing Canada's recent coaches conference held in London, Ontario.  Also at the conference, Silver Lake's Jim Dover was part of a session that looked at the club's growth and successes over the past 10 years.

The growth of rowing in Canada depends on its club system throughout the country, and Silver Lake was presented as an example of how to create and maintain a successful club in a smaller centre.  Rowing is currently ranked at Canada's number one Summer Olympic sport!
