March 16, 2022

March 10-13th, 2022, 8 DSSC athletes and head coach Kurt Murphy attended BC Winter Provincials in Victoria BC. These athletes had to achieve Swim BC provincial standards in order to compete in this competition. Prelim swims were run short course, 25m pool, while finals were run long course, 50m pool. At Provincials over half of the athletes achieved 100% best times, 9 new Western time standards, and 13 new club records were achieved. WOW!!
