These selection trials will inaugurate what will be a busy International season for Canadian swimmers as they prepare to race at the Pan Pacific Championships, Tri-Nations and Commonwealth Games.

More Happy news - Selected off swims done at Western Champs and Provincial Champs, the BC Age Group and Prospects Team(13+14 year olds) has been announced. Congratulations to:

One of the "competitions within the competition" at the Team Aquatic Supplies BC AAA Championships is the SwimBC-Team Aquatic Supplies Regional Athlete Development (R.A.D.) Awards.

It was a beautiful day downtown by the waterfront, where crowds gathered to watch the Paralympic Torch Relay come to Victoria.

Stephanie Dixon was there to carry the torch on the final leg of the relay and light the cauldron. Awesome job Steph!

FULL RESULTS

Report from Coach Mark.

We brought ten swimmers up to the meet. It was a nice sunny weekend in Campbell River which made the trip really nice. All the kids swam really well and improved a lot. Only 5 or 6 swims were not best times overall. So the trip was a big success with Braeden Copeman and Dana Goerzen having their first meet experience out of town. Emma Reinsch achieved her AA time on the first leg of the Freestyle relay!
