Cracker is Underway!

Twas the night before Cracker,
And over the net,
The emails were flying,
"Have you volunteered yet?"

Actually the 2010 Xmas Cracker is less than 4 days away and there are plenty of volunteer spots left to be filled. If you haven't volunteered yet and can spare some time, especially on Friday and Sunday, please send a message to meets@pacificcoastswimming.com to sign up.

UVPCS swimmer Richard Weinberger and coach Ron Jacks were among those who received awards at this year’s Swimming Canada Awards Gala held in Toronto this week. Richard won the Open Water swimmer of the year award based on his bronze medal performance at the 2010 Pan Pacific Championships this summer in the 10k event. Ron was presented with the Open Water Coach of the year award. Congratulations Richard and Ron!
