re: 2013-2014 Competitive Qualifier Round Up!
Congratulations to our competitive athletes who've had a very successful year to date! It's no secret that swimming is a commitment-oriented sport. Through the trials and tribulations of competition & personal growth within the sport (and off deck), combined with school (and life in general), we're thrilled to see those smiling faces continue to come to practice everyday and put in the effort! The coaches couldn't be more proud!
No matter how challenging workout is, the team also makes it a fun environment-cracking jokes and being playful [between sets only of course ;)] and the results of their hard work & enjoyment shows. The coaches have seen and continue to see the progress our athletes make, individually and collectively as a group! #awesome!
As short course season has come to a close and LC is underway, we would be remiss not to recap our team highlights! Again, congratulations to everyone! We'd also like to extend a giant THANK YOU to our parents for the time they dedicate to their athletes bringing them to practice & meets, and officiating on deck!
Newly Returned Members!
Welcome back to the team, this time in the new city pool... not the run down West Park you remember. We're excited to have you (and your sparkling personality) back!
Sara T.
First Year Competitive Members!
You're doing fantastic, and each are great additions to the team! We love your enthusiasm, and you've made a tremendous amount of progress this year.

WOSA CHAMPIONSHIPS (SC) QUALIFIERS!
We are so excited that 19 of our active 25 competitive members qualified for our regional short course championship this year! How cool is that? There are a few swimmers very close to qualifying for the long course championship! (Keep up the hard work, you can do it!)

WINTER FESTIVAL (SC) PROVINCIAL CHAMPIONSHIPS!
This was a great meet, with tough competition from all over the province! Truth be told we actually had three qualifiers for this festive occasion :) One of our amazing non-competitive swimmers sampled a meet and qualified also! Not too shabby eh?

ONTARIO PROVINCIAL (SC) AGE GROUP CHAMPIONSHIPS!
This was an exciting meet, and we had a blast while there!
