Well Xmas Cracker is over for another year and it was a great weekend of swimming. Many personal bests and meet records were set. The detailed meet results have already been posted on the PCS Results page and the new club records have been posted as well.
Congratulations to all the swimmers and coaches!
Cracker is a huge meet and an event of this size is only possible through the efforts of our many volunteers.
Christmas Cracker is just 2 days away. For your browsing enjoyment we've included a little Christmas 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.
