re: 2015 Ontario Summer Festivals Meet Results

Congratulations are in order for our team's swims during our second FESTiVAL Championship of the year!  :) 

We had so many ~TERRiFiC~ swims! With only six swimmers in attendance, we had a .Great. meet coming in 49th place in a three way tie overall combined scores, out of 69 teams, and had sooo much fun on a very crowded pool deck...  Way to go everyone!

The coaches are extremely overjoyed and super proud of everyone's successful season!

Once again, we like to extend a SPECIAL THANKS to all of our parents and also to those who came to cheer on their athletes and the team!
