A big THANK YOU to our affiliated Varsity Vikes swim team! Our annual Swim with the Vikes Event took place this past weekend. The kids had a blast learning swimming technique, doing some racing, and building team culture with the Vikes swimmers. Thanks to all the swimmers that came out to the event. #gobolts!
Our Annual PCS Swimmers & Parents association meeting is taking place via Zoom on Sunday, October 17th 2021 from 10:30-11:30am.
At this meeting we will discuss the role the parent's association plays in supporting the swimmers and club, as well as what we can do in the upcoming season moving forward. The meeting will be led by PSCPA president Doreen Melrdum, and we will hear from multiple members of the PCSPA. Attendance is strongly encouraged to learn how you can support your swimmer and club and what you can do to get involved during the upcoming season.

Our Silent Auction Fundraiser is still on until September 14th!
In non-Covid times, we rely mainly on hosting meets as a way to raise funds for expensive pool fees—but there have been no swim meets since early 2020. This online Silent Auction Fundraiser aims to replace some of the fundraising lost due to the pandemic.

Caileigh previously was an incredible young swimmer with PCS and still holds 11-12 Girls club records in SC 400 Free, 800 Free and 1500 Free - a testament to her resilience and endurance to secure the medal in Tokyo! This is Canada's 10th medal at the 2020 Games.
