Bears in Action at CDSC

 

Bears in action in Vancouver:

 

After a week end of tough racing at the Blue Bears invitational, a small contingent of bears were in action in Vancouver this past weekend.  The CDSC meet has served as great racing opportunity for our swimmers and the last chance to qualify for Western Champs as we prepare for the championships.  This year was no different, the swimmers present raced hard through long sessions, the team flew in on Friday, raced that afternoon and throughout the week end and were on a flight back to Edmonton Sunday night.  The days lasted from 7:30 in the morning to 6:30 in the evening, as a bonus the fresh air and warm weather made the hard conditions easier to deal with, but at the end of the day  it was just business as usual - race hard and race fast.

The swimmers swam great and competed hard, congratulations to Alisia Saroukian for her new Western time and to Kyle Folk who broke the club record in the 100, 400, 800 free.

Look forward to great racing in the coming months at the Championship meets as our bears are primed to go!
