A BIG thank you to all the swimmers and to the volunteers that helped Nationals go so smoothly.
This meet was an opportunity to showcase our club and Calgary. Based on what we’ve heard from swimmers across the country, we have a lot to be proud of.
I’d like to highlight a few key contributions, chiefly the work of Rob Harris and Sue Hill. They’ve been working all year to make this event possible. Their countless hours and dedication to this event is at the heart of its success. A shoutout also has to go out to the entire planning committee!
Official results should be posted on the Masters Swimming Canada site soon, however, preliminary results are available online.
One last thing, we were running short on medals and we know a few of you kindly offered to pick them up at a later date. We want to be sure we’re ordering the right amount, so if you grabbed your medal sticker, but didn’t get a medal, please email nationals@cmsc.ab.ca
Good luck to all the swimmers this weekend!
There will be a limited number of heat sheets on deck, so you can print your own or save them to your device ahead of time.
You can download a PDF copy of the heat sheets here.
A big thank you to all those that stepped up to volunteer! We can always use an extra pair of hands on deck, so please email meetmanager@cmsc.ab.ca if you’re available last minute!
We are just days away from Nationals and still need volunteers. Those that help out will be eligible to win great prizes, including an Apple watch! Not to mention, all our volunteers will be fed great local eats all weekend long.
