From May 27th-30th our competitive swimmers competed in the Ontario Age Group Championships. This is our provincial competition, what we work all year towards. It was a long weekend, but very exciting. All of the hard work and dedication of the girls was obvious in their amazing performances.
On Friday, March 26th the competitive athletes headed up North to Sudbury to compete in the Central-North Region Competition. It was great to see so many families along to take in the sights of Sudbury and cheer on our athletes.
On
February 6th our Novice and Mini swimmers participated in their very first meet
