2008 sting welcome


 


Welcome
to Marc LePoole�s Speedo Sting 2009!  The Sting is one of
Canada’s premier diving competitions that includes some of the
best junior and senior divers from across Canada and the United
States and even teams from as far as the Netherlands, Malaysia
and South Africa. 

Marc LePoole’s Sting is named after a man who was admired not
only in the Victoria diving community, but also the BC and
Canadian diving communities.   


Marc LePoole was the first President of Boardworks (then known
as Pacific Coast Diving) and served in that capacity for 12
years after helping to found the club in 1993.  Marc also sat as
the President of BC Diving for 3 years.  Prior to his
involvement in Victoria, Marc was the President of Dive Calgary,
where his son (Chris LePoole) and daughter (Lisa LePoole)
trained as divers.  Chris was a long-time member of our Sr.
National Team, finishing 8th on 3m at the World Cup in 1991 and
was a member of the Pan-American Games and World Championships
teams in the late 1990’s.   

We would
also like to thank all of our sponsors for their support of this
event – Speedo, Island Displays, Howard Johnson Hotels,
PacificSport and Saanich Commonwealth Place.

Boardworks
welcomes you to Victoria and we hope you enjoy your time here.

Marc lost a long battle with kidney disease, leaving an
incredible legacy for the diving community and unforgettable
memories of this amazing man.
