Pacific Coast Swimming both hosted and won the Provincial Championships over the weekend at Saanich Commonwealth Place. It was the first ever win for PCS which led the scoring race from start to finish, ending the meet with 2729.5 points, over 700 points above the second place team, Richmond Rapids. PCS began the weekend with 49 enthusiastic athletes, the club’s largest contingent to date, who took an early lead in the point race and never looked back.

The 2014 SwimBC AAA LC Championship is in the history books and it was a huge success!

Thank you from UVIC-PCS and SwimBC to all our volunteers and officials.  Without your assistance, generosity and commitment, we could not host meets of this size.

There will be more stories and summaries of the weekend posted to the website over the next few days, but we wanted to take the opportunity now to extend our thanks to all involved.

Records Fall... Point Score rises!

On Day Three of the Provincial Championships at Commonwealth Pool the swimming has been hotter than the weather. The True Blue are riding a wave of inspired swimming. For the first time in the 12 year history of Pacific Coast Swimming the team leads the point score going into the final day of competition on Sunday.

Congratulations to Rosie Moulton. She took Athlete of the Year at Mount Douglas High School. Great to see a PCS swimmer being recognized for all the effort and time that goes into swimming!
