This year’s Annual 14 & Under Wavemaker Invitational Meet featured over 160 swimmers from across Vancouver Island. Everyone had a great time underneath the palm trees and bouncing beach balls (though the beach balls were a bit the worse for wear). Officials set a fine standard for beach wear and competitors worked hard for a chance to win the special ‘horse’ ribbons that are unique to this meet.

Richard Weineberger came 6th in a tough International field of 20 swimmers in the 15 km Sumidero Canyon race in Mexico today. He swam a great race staying with the more experienced lead pack the whole wayand finishing just 10 seconds out of third --- and only 40 seconds behind the winner, three-time World Champion medallist Petar Stoychev.

Congratulations to Rosie Moulton, Stefanie Schmidt, Salin Bol, and Caileigh Filmer for setting a new provincial record in the 13-14 Girls 4x200 F.R. with a time of 8:37.08.

Full results from the time trial can be found on our results page.

Wrap-up:

On the last day of the Pan-Pac Trials Nick Sinclair finished 10th in the 200 IM final, having posted a PB to get into the finals in the morning session. Richard Weinberger was 11th in the 800 Free.

Update Day #3

Nick Sinclair came within two tenths of winning the 200 Back and punching his ticket to the Pan-Pacific swimming championships. In a blanket finish, veteran Canadian team members Matt Hawes and Charles Francis finished just ahead, but Sinclair was the only one of the top 3 to go a best time under the new textile-only suit rules. Nick was just 6 tenths outside the FINA 'A' standard, and a small improvement over the next several months will guarantee his trip to Irvine this summer to compete against the World's best.
