SwimBC Winter Provincial Championships

SwimBC Provincial Championships
March 2-5
Saanich Commonwealth Place, Victoria
Rooms booked at the Elk Lake Inn and Suites (used to be the Howard Johnson right next to the pool). Plan is to ferry over with CDSC and then get a bus from the ferry to the pool. Same idea home on Sunday for anyone in finals. Currently we only have 6 rooms which is enough for the swimmers and a chaperone. Meals will be through the hotel through the meet to make it easy on our timelines. Please let me know if you are interested in chaperoning which will include keeping track of the swimmers and helping them with snacks throughout the meet.  

Team Travel last meet was just under $800. This included hotel, meals, snacks, bus to and from ferry. 

Currently qualified swimmers: Henry, Noah, Tristan, Stella, Brooke, George, Valentina, Burton, Rohin, Bodie, Bayden, Freddy, Rafael

There is a relay each day of the meet. All swimmers should expect to be racing on relays.

There is a relay each day of the meet. All swimmers should expect to be racing on relays. Top eight relay teams in each age group will swim at night each day (hopefully our A teams in the 13-14 and 15-17 boys each day), Sunday relays are open so hopefully boys are swimming at night.
