PCS is the top club on the island at Provincial AAA LC Championships and finished eighth overall - amassing our highest ever total points score.

UVPCS finished the third day in 6th spot on our weakest day point score wise...the battle for the top three spots is tight and changes every event! A great night of racing ensued..

800 Free
Vicky Mock took silver and Hanna Carter came 5th in the girls 15&Over.

The second day here at UBC shaped up to be just as exciting as the first evening. After taking most of the senior national athletes home after day one the team swam very well on day two and ended just 45 points out of top spot behind Vancouver Pacific.

The evening began with the 50 Free - 11 yr old Jessica Luo finished with a bronze and a PB. In the 13 yr girls Molly Gowans took gold.

Michael Schmidt came through with his best to take fifth spot in the 11 and U boys.

Next up was 200 Fly...
