PCS' own Laura Rincon recently competed at her home country of Columbia.  In the 13 year old girls events, Laura won the 100 Breaststroke Gold, and Silver in the 50 Breaststroke.  She will be looking for similar success in Canada after returning to Victoria this weekend.

Congratulations Laura! 

On the final day at Richmond SwimFast PCS continued to strike gold. Crisp(50 Bk), Schmidt(100Br) and Gutierrez (400Fr) and the 12-13 Boys relay(Chapman, Schmidt, Ogilvie and Gutierrez) came away in top spot with Crisp adding a silver in 200Fr. Ogilvie(100Fly) and Lawrance added bronze medals.

Day one went off smoothly for the over 800 swimmers in the competition. The Vounteers put on a great show hosting the largest number of competitors so far at Xmas Cracker and the atmosphere lead to record performances.

The 11-12 Girls team for PCS in the 200MR (Chen, Edwards, Lorette, Trudel) set Provincial and National Age group records in 2:04.98 smashing the NAGR of 205.39 set by Markham AC in 2007.

The PCS Xmas Cracker is just 3 days away. For your browsing enjoyment we've included a little Xmas Cracker Carol.
(Please sing to the tune of "Santa Claus is Coming to Town")

You better swim fast,
You better streamline,
Better flip turn,
I'm telling you why,
Christmas Cracker's coming to town.

We're making up heats,
And checking them twice,
We're gonna find out,
Who's got the best times,
Christmas Cracker's coming to town.
