Day two was no less exciting. Our 10 and U crew have had a huge up tick in numbers and performance this season and it certainly showed. As well the 11-12 girls and 13-14 girls and boys were very strong. While our 15 and O are getting themselves ready for Provincial and National champioships this summer they were strong across the board.

Girls A 1st 2:48 (J Stevens, M Bunting, T Hunt, K Lancaster)

Vicky Mock and Jon McKay both came up big on the day in the 10km race in the Canadian Jr Pan Pac Selection trials at the Flowers Sea Swim in Grand Cayman. The race went well for both PCS competitiors. Jon McKay finished the men's event in second spot overall and as the first Canadian giving him an open water spot on the Jr Pan Pac Team, adding to his pool spot for the same.

It was a long weekend in Nanaimo but well worth it for PCS! Numerous new qualifiers at AGN and AAA/AA levels. As well we had a bunch of VIR and Club Records broken. Congratulations to all!

Pacific Coast Swimming in conjunction with Vikes will be running summer swimming camps at UVic for kids ages 8-12 interested in Lightning Fast 3-5.  For more information abou the Lightning Fast programs and camp schedules can be found here.

These summer camps entail dry-land activities at UVic's Mckinnon Gym pool and a skill oriented swim in the morning. Then lunch and a walk over to the outdoor pool at Ian Stewart Complex for a fun swim in the afternoon.

More Provincial Records Fall!

The competition has been a tough one with perhaps just 10-15% or the competitors posting personal bests. In spite of the sluggish pace of the meet UVPCS has driven in a few homers.
