A small contingent of Pacific Coast Swimming athletes hit the water this past weekend, March 12th and 13th, at the Swim BC Open at the UBC Aquatic Centre.  The Bolts were lead by Erin Lawrance and Haley Bennett, who both found the podium over the course of the weekend, as they competed against numerous national team members and university swimmers.

In one of the closest overall team point finishes in recent memory, Pacific Coast Swimming edged out Hyack Swim Club from New Westminster by one hundred and twenty six points.  A full team effort was on display from the Bolts, as they filled A and B Finals with a total of forty-six swimmers on the last night of competition, to hold off Hyack's late charge.  

After the prelims sessions on the fourth and final day of competition at the BC AAA Short Course Championships, Pacific Coast Swimming holds on to a slight lead over Hyack Swim Club from New Westminster.  Looking ahead to finals, Hyack Swim Club has qualified twenty-five A Final swims and sixteen B Final swims.  Pacific Coast Swimming has twenty-seven A Final swims and nineteen B Final swims.

Pacific Coast Swimming closed out day three of competition at Saanich Commonwealth Place by opening up a slight lead on Hyack in the overall team point scores.  With multiple club and Vancouver Island Regional records on the day, the Bolts continued to push the pace as they vie for their fourth straight AAA Championship title. 

The Pacific Coast Swimming contingent at the BC AAA Short Course Championships continued their roll on day two of competition.  In total, the Bolts captured twelve individual medals and five relay medals out at Saanich Commonwealth Place on Friday night. 

The first day of BC Short Course Age Group Championships saw Pacific Coast Swimming show why they are three time defending Swim BC AAA Champions, as twenty swimmers found the podium.

The day started with the Boys 13 & Under 1500 Free, and Anthony Gutierrez leading the charge for the Bolts with his 6^th place in a time of 18:00.19.  Dylan Kormendy finished close behind in 12^th, earning valuable points for the PCS crew during the first session of the meet.

Records fall on day 3 of the Speedo Western Canadian Open in Manitoba!

13 year old Jessica Luo continued her fantastic meet, as she swam to a 100 Fly 13-14 year old age group Vancouver Island Regional Record and a Pacific Coast Swimming Club Record on Saturday night in Winnipeg. Her time of 1:02.97, a best time by over a second, placed her 2^nd overall in the Women's 15&U 100 Fly.  Jessica was the youngest competitor in the A Final of the event, and the only 13 year old to advance to finals from preliminary heats.

The Pacific Coast Swimming women’s 4X200 Freestyle relay team led the way on Friday night, as they captured a bronze medal in dramatic fashion, out touching fourth place by less than two tenths of a second.  Despite being one of the youngest teams in the event, the crew of Erin Lawrance, Jordan Andrusak, Jessica Luo and Molly Gowans posted a 3^rd place finish in a time of 8:26.32.
