re: 2018 LC WOSA Meet Results!

What a FAST meet!    WAY to go TEAM!

 We had a great team experience swimming among the best in the Western Region!  This was the FIRST WOSA with GCAC for Casey, Kieran, Lila, Luca, Paolo and Sloan Marie!  You're AWESOME!

Congratulations to ALL of our team members for their AMAZING swims!  We had lots of best times and finals, personal goals accomplished, more Festival and Provincial time standards achieved and many team records broken!   

The coaches are extremely HaPPY and THRiLLED with everyone's efforts :)  What an EXCiTiNG and FuN year  :)  Special THANKS as always, to our parents and siblings who came to cheer on the team, and to our volunteers who officiated :)

re: 2018 GCP Summer Swimming!

We are very excited and pleased to announce that the 2018 Summer Swim Team will be hosted again by the Garden City Piranhas (GCP)! 

 This will be GCP’s sixth year managing, and the 13th summer for the program & coaches!  We’re looking forward to a *FANTASTIC* season, with warm weather and sunny days!

Our season begins on Monday, July 9th and ends Friday, August 17th! Throughout the regular season we will be attending three inter-league meets, culminating with a Regional Championship.  ***REMINDER***Athletes who join us during the year must swim as "exhibition" during the NRSSL swim meets. They will still receive ribbons though!

We have plenty of *FuN* activities planned this summer including team games every Wednesday, Pizza Nights & Donut Days, and our season-ending pool party!

 :~LEAGUE REMINDERS~:
The N.R.S.S.L. voted to make some changes in swimmer eligibility.

The league decided that ANY swimmer who swims in ANY learn-to-swim program in ANY capacity (non-competitive or competitive) during the calendar year-regardless of how many hours per week they swim- are ineligible to participate in the league Championships.

Swimmers affected: high school swimmers, any swimmer enrolled in GCAC or like program (teen swim at Brock or the Boys & Girls club, etc.).  Swimmers who took swimming lessons from a municipality for no more than 3 hours per week are eligible to compete!

We're excited to see everyone again this summer after another busy year!  We're going to have a fantastic time!  See you all soon!
