There will be a timing how-to clinic on Saturday 3 July 2004 at Saanich Commonwealth Place at 8:30am. Meet at the Aquatic Classroom on the pool deck. This is a critical position at any meet, and especially so at a Provincial Championship. We will need 32 timers for each heats session and 16 for each finals session. Please attend this clinic, be a timekeeper at the meet and support swimmers from all our provincial clubs.

Vancouver Island Long Course Open Age-Group Championships featured some stellar swims, including new Club National qualifier Nicole Crawford, and new AAA qualifiers William Yolland, Andrea Vizsolyi and Samantha Ivanova. A smattering of results: Alyssa Bakken, Tyler Smith, David Vizsolyi and Jayme Weimer each finished in the top three in all their races. Alyssa took Gold in both 100m and 200m Backstroke; Tyler won Gold in the 100m Butterfly, doubling up on his 100 Fly win at Short Course VIRs from January.
