March Madness Meet
The meet was another great success - it was sold out more than 3 weeks before the event date - with 150 swimmers registered. It was awesome to again see so many new swimmers come out, and experience their first meet. The 25m races were full! And we had a large number of record applications. Several swimmers attempted to break provincial, national and world records, including Betty Brussel! She competed in the 100-104 category, and it was such an inspiration to watch her race in her individual races as well as relays!
Several of our Club's swimmers helped out again by either officiating as Timer, or Stroke and Turn Judge. And like last time, several of those chose to also compete in individual events as well as relays. We collected 39 medals (as compared to 25 last year) - 17 Gold medals, 14 Silver medals, and 3 Bronze medals! And we got 5 more Gold medals in the relays! We are so proud of our team - we placed 3rd out of 18 teams (an even better performance than last year when we placed 6th)!!

Our first organized meet since pre-COVID 2019!
The meet was a great success - it was wonderful to see everyone come out and compete! Some amazing times were set by swimmers, both younger and older. The oldest swimmer was 98, Betty Brussel, and she competed in several races.
Everyone cheered as she finished each race. And our swimmers did really well too. Even though the majority officiated in Stroke and Turn Judge capacity, they did double duty, and were able to race as well, and collect 35 medals - 17 Gold medals, 9 Silver medals, and 5 Bronze medals! And we got 2 more Gold and 2 more Silver in the relays! We are so proud of our team!!
