The 2013 CIS Championships were underway in Calgary yesterday, and our Vikes got off to a great start.  At least, for the most part - an illness sidelined two of UVic’s medal contenders, Alec Page and Ian Mattock. 

The Canadian Swimming Coaches and Teachers Association recently awarded eight Canadian coaches for the development of Canada’s Olympic swimming medallists of 2012.  The money went not only to current coaches of the three medallists, but those who played instrumental roles in cultivating their talents in earlier years.

 Congratulations are in order for our UVPCS coaches, who make up three of the eight coaches who were rewarded this year! 

Day 3 of the SwimBC SC AA Championships is done and more hardware for PCS swimmers, as well as some exciting personal bests and AAA times.  Congratulations to all the swimmers and their coaches for a great weekend of competition!
