A big congratulations to Eric Hedlin (Uvic Alumni) for qualifying for the FINA World Championships this past weekend based off of his performance in the 1500m freestyle. Eric will represent Canada in the open water FINA championships taking place in Budapest, Hungary at the end of June. Coach Ryan Clouston will be representing UVPCS as Eric's coach during this event. Eric was one of seven swimmers chosen to represent Canada in the Open Water category. 

Thank you to all the volunteers, officials, and helpers who were putting in time at the pool this week. The swim meet was made possible from all of you! It's so great to see everyone back on the pool deck as a swim community. See you at the next competition!
