re: Autumn Invitational Meet Results!

Congratulations on a great weekend Team!!! 

We opened up the season with a FANTASTIC meet in Etobicoke, facing some of the fastest teams in Ontario!  We had GREAT individual effort, AWESOME team camaraderie and an overall FUN + exciting competition!  The coaches are very proud of everyone!

Special thanks to all of our parents + siblings who came to cheer on their athletes and the team!!!

We'd also like to welcome our newest team members (some are also new COMPETITIVE swimmers) in their first competition with their GCAC teammates: Kaylin + Jayne!

Congratulations are also in order for those achieving WOSA times and those getting closer to Festivals!  .Way to Go!
