2016-2017

After a long and tough 4 days of racing, the Vancouver Island Regional Championships came to a close Sunday night, and PCS went out with a bang. Both prelim and morning sessions on the last day of the meet only boosted our clubs golden performances over the weekend.  In the morning prelims we had a club record in the 100 freestyle for the 10&U boys by Nolan Crisp with a time of 1:08.26.

Day 3 of VIR’s came to a close, and while the wear and tear of the meet takes a toll on all the athletes, our Pacific Coast Swimmers pulled ahead with some huge stand out swims and best times. The night started with a swim-off for girls 13-14 200 Free as Teagan Hunt (13) came from behind and reeled in her competitor on the last 25 meters to win in a best time of 2:20.60. Hunt really set the tone for the duration of the evening.

UVic Pacific Coast Swimming pulled ahead on Day 2 at the Vancouver Island Regional Championships, finishing the day in first with 1965 points, ahead of Cross Town Island swimming in second place with 1005 points.

The Pacific Coast Swimming Distance squad traveled to Comox this afternoon to compete in the Vancouver Island Regional Championships. Tonight we had 12 women swimmers do the 800 Free, and 6 boys doing the 1500 Free.

Anastasia Trudel (12) led out the PCS crew coming in 2nd place in the Women’s 11-12 age group with a time of 10:31.50, along with her other teammates Maia Denis 6th with a 11:01.11 dropping 3 seconds, Naeva Scott Bouris 8th with her best time of 11:25.14 dropping 10.85 seconds.

Over the Christmas break there will be a combined LFSS 3-5 Christmas Training Camp.  The cost is $50 and you must register with Coach Kennedy.  Check the Events link for more information including schedule and pools.
