Age Group Trials

First of all a big thank you goes out to the Silver Tide family for running a great meet and spending their weekend at the pool. It was great to see lots of families and swimmers out to help at the meet.

We had a great weekend in the pool as well. Emma Funk stole the show making 7 out of 7 finals, 100% best times, swimming on two relays and achieving her first ever A Times in the 50 and 100 Fly and 50 and 100 Free! Way to go Emma. Also achieving a new A time in her new age group was Josie Poliquin in the 100 Back, she also made a number of finals and 100% best times. Both swimmers will be off to Age Group Champs in a month with the rest of our A swimmers.

Swimmers from both Provincial and Senior Development competed hard all weekend with a number of best times, heat winners and final swims. It was the first time a number of the swimmers had a chance to make finals and they all took advantage of it and learnt how important it is to swim faster at night. In the 11-12 Girls we Haley swam to 100% best times after aging up last week. Lauren swam to 100% Best times, including a first ever 200 Fly bronze medal and a 13 year old QT in the 200 IM. In the 13-14 Girls we had a number of swimmers swim to best times with the girls really stepping it up on the relays. They started off the weekend with a silver in the 200 Free Relay (Mel, Marielle, Alli, Breanne) and finished it off with a gold in the 13-14 girls 200 Medley Relay (Mel, Alli, Sierra, Breanne) and 100 % best times from Piper. Liam and Aaron were our men at the meet. Liam had a fantastic weekend making huge drops in his 100 and 200 butterfly coming so close to making his A time in both races. Aaron is also getting closer to those A times and had a great weekend with a bronze medal in the 200 Breast. Both boys swam to 100 % best times. Both of the boys we should see moving up to the A level very soon.

Now both groups are looking to the future with more A and B times ahead and fast swimming at the provincials in Calgary!
