Senior Circuit #1 - New UVPCS Records

Last weekend UVPCS hosted the first Team Aquatic Supplies-Swim BC Senior Circuit meet of the season and highlights included two new UVPCS records. Caleigh Filmer set a record for girls’ (11-12) 800 Freestyle, while in the 200 Breaststroke for 13-14 boys, Aidan Thirkell powered to a new club record. Congratulations to Caileigh and Aidan!

Four of our swimmers were first in events: David Creel (400 IM); MacKenzie Downing (100 Butterfly); Nick Sinclair (100 Backstroke) and Richard Weinberger (1500 Freestyle).
