Division Two Team Champs (Brantord-April 2012)
WOW! Almost every single one of our swimmers achieved amazing results at Division 2 Team Champs (Brantford). Swimmers acheived Personal Bests and/ or supplied points to the total team score. We were accompanied by two coaches and several dedicated chaperones. Many parents made the drive out to support not only their own swimmers, but the entire team- a testament to the family atmosphere at York Swim Club.
One of the most exciting moments of the meet was witnessing our 13-14 year old boys relay team take Gold in the 200 medley relay and 200IM relay; they were seeded 5th in both events and proved that they were champions! Matthew Anderson deserves special credit for swimming “up” with the older boys in both relays.
