Midsummer Madness

The Mid Summer madness went off without a hitch again this year. This small meet gives the swimmers a chance to swim short course after the long course season and often turns out some fast swims. Young swimmers who choose to take part often make a few surprising finals and pick up a cup of jelly beans by winning an event.

Calgary Cascade and Wayland Swim Club from Richmond joined us this year and a good time was had by all the swimmers. Relays at the beginning of each nights finals allowed lots of swimmers to be involved in the fun atmosphere.

The August 3-4 weekend saw teams from Calgary, Nanaimo, Port Alberni, as well as our own PCS club compete in the 2013 Midsummer Madness meet at Saanich Commonwealth Place.  PCS had a total of 36 swimmers in the meet competing for "Ceramic and Sugar" glory...first place swimmers received official "Midsummer Madness" ceramic mugs filled with jelly beans (along with the more traditional ribbons).

Full results are available from the PCS results page.

Only 2 days left before the 2013 Midsummer Madness meet! This is our last meet of year and a chance for swimmers to get the jump on achieving some fast short-course times for next year!

We still need volunteers for timing and stroke and turn, so if you are able to help, your assistance would be very much appreciated.  You can volunteer online from the PCS website.
