The Pacific Coast Swimming Distance squad traveled to Comox this afternoon to compete in the Vancouver Island Regional Championships. Tonight we had 12 women swimmers do the 800 Free, and 6 boys doing the 1500 Free.

Anastasia Trudel (12) led out the PCS crew coming in 2nd place in the Women’s 11-12 age group with a time of 10:31.50, along with her other teammates Maia Denis 6th with a 11:01.11 dropping 3 seconds, Naeva Scott Bouris 8th with her best time of 11:25.14 dropping 10.85 seconds.

Over the Christmas break there will be a combined LFSS 3-5 Christmas Training Camp.  The cost is $50 and you must register with Coach Kennedy.  Check the Events link for more information including schedule and pools.

The PCS Xmas Cracker is just 1 day away. For your browsing enjoyment we've recycled 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.

Thank you again to Yuk Yuk’s comedienne and Vikes/PCS Alumnus Katie-Ellen Humphries for a funny and inspiring sketch on 'Swimming Life'. A well deserved congratulations to all those who received awards. But we must emphasize that the real reward for all of the hard work and persistence that goes into a PCS season is the pride in undertaking something that few can do. The character shown every year by our over 800 swimmers is a inspiration and the value in just being a great teammate is our tradition and our mark of excellence.

The first school swim meet of the 2016-17 season happened this weekend at SCP. It was a successful day with many great splashes and smiles. We are happy to report our two youngest swimmers, both kindergarten age, had a great timeand swam in all events. We saw teammates cheering each other on and helping each other out whether they were new to swimming at a swim meet or seasoned veterans.
