PSW Fall Invitational - a club record, 3 new provincial swimmers and 3 new divisional swimmers

Swimmers from our Youth and Junior Groups, along with Senior Red raced on the other side of the city this past weekend at the PSW October Invitational.  This three session meet was a great opportunity to follow up on skills and races from the Spartan Meet earlier this season.  While at this point in the season we still have a large focus on the process, setting up technique and solid fundamentals, we still had some swimmers step up to earn some notable achievements.

Congratulations to Brian Z for setting a new club record in the 10&U 50BR.  He beat Ruiting’s record from earlier this year with a 40.33.  With still a few months before he turns 11, let’s see if he can get the record under 40!

We had three 12 & Under swimmers earn their first Provincial Times.  Congratulations to Aaron C for hitting the mark in the 100FR while Iris T and Isabelle S earned their cuts in the 50BR.  We also had three new 12 & Under swimmers get their first Divisional Times.  Sabella O earned 2 swims in the 50BK & 50BR, while 9 year old Ava P earned hers in the 50BK.  Caleb S earned his in the 50BR.  Congratulations!

Other highlights from the weekend

• Lucas D raced smartly all weekend, including a well split 200FR despite coming off of being sick and away
• Keon P showed engagement and tenacity in all his races with large improvements in his underwaters!
• Kayla Q had a great weekend being committed in all her races including a huge drop in her 200FR and dropping more time in her 200IM from the Spartan meet just a couple weeks ago.
• Alice F and Jaron P have been good in workout and that hard work is paying off, showing some great improvements and racing 100% PB on the weekend.

Next up for these groups is the Brad Reid Memorial, the 400FR time trial and the SKSC fallfest meets.  Keep up the good work swimmers!
