💙A bittersweet goodbye to two incredible athletes, leaders, and role models. 💙
Today we celebrate Reina and Siena as they begin an exciting new chapter this fall. Reina is heading to Dalhousie University, and Siena will be attending the University of Ottawa. While we couldn't be prouder of all they've accomplished, it's impossible not to feel a little emotional watching them leave.
Siena joined our swim family at just 5 years old, and Reina at 6. Over the years, we've had the privilege of watching them grow not only into exceptional athletes, but into remarkable young women. Their dedication, perseverance, sportsmanship, and love for this team have left a lasting mark on everyone around them.
This past year, they stepped into coaching roles, giving back to the next generation of swimmers with the same passion and encouragement they brought to the pool every day. Their leadership and influence have helped shape our team in countless ways.
For their coaches and parents especially, this moment comes with mixed emotions. They’ve watched them grow from little kids chasing dreams into confident adults ready to take on the world. What a privilege it has been to be part of their journey.
Reina and Siena, thank you for the memories, the laughs, the leadership, and the example you've set for all who follow in your footsteps. You will be greatly missed, but your impact on this team will be felt for years to come.
Once a part of this team, always a part of this team.
We wish you both nothing but success, happiness, and unforgettable adventures in the years ahead. Go chase your dreams. STJJ be cheering you on every step of the way! 🏊‍♀️✨

That’s a wrap on the 2025/2026 swim season! We of course would like to thank our amazing coaches, sponsors, athletes and parents for an amazing season. We had a great end of year party even though it was cut short by all of the (dozens) tornado warnings all buzzing on our phones. Food, friends, awards. Our athletes continue to encourage and cheer each other on.

Let’s come back strong than ever for our 2026/2027 season!

This past weekend STJJ travelled to Windsor for the Lou Pocock Invitational 3 day swim meet. Our athletes worked hard all weekend and came home with some pretty impressive PBs and placings. Way to go STJJ!
