re: 2018 Winter Festivals Meet Results!

What a FABULOUS Championship!!!

We had an AMAZING team experience competing against the TOP swimmers in Ontario!  We missed you Charis; we wish you a speedy recovery!  This was the FIRST Winter Festivals with GCAC for Eddie, Madison and Syrah!  You're FANTASTIC! 

Congratulations to ALL of our team members for their INCREDIBLE swims! We had lots of best times and TOP finishes, more time standards achieved and many team records shattered! We also have a NEW Provincial QUALIFIER: Congratulation Nathan!    

There were 87 teams participating!!! Our three AWESOME girls ranked 22nd, and our four AWESOME boys ranked 46th!

The coaches are extremely HAPPY and THRiLLED with everyone's efforts :) Our EXCiTiNG and FuN year continues :)
