Lotta GRIT shown by 6 PCS kids at Prospects camp

All six PCS swimmers who were selected and participated over the weekend at the SBC Prospects camp showed a lot of speed and mental fortitude pushing hard at the four workouts. All were PB's or just over in the Dive 100 and competed tough in the sets, leading lanes on long days... Oh, and asked lots of good (and some entertaining..) questions in the classroom sessions. Well done all. (Keir Ogilvie, Anthony Gutierrez, Artem Kuklev, Jacob Rambo, Sophie Lorette and Naeva Scott-Bouris). Thanks to the coaches who gave up their weekend as well to support the camp.
