Over the May long weekend, Calgary Masters Swim Club sent 18 swimmers (19 actually as Stuart Dalgleish competed under a different club, but it still counts) and Coach Chad up to Saskatoon to compete in the Canadian Masters Championships. The pool was swimming fast and did our athletes ever show up and bring their A-game! We left Saskatoon in 4th Overall place with 22 Gold medals, 24 Silver Medals and 17 Bronze medals! On top of that, every single swimmer either set some best times, or their fastest time in the last 3-4 years! It was a great weekend of team bonding, fast swimming, and a great chance to interact with other clubs nationally. We are super proud of what they accomplished and cannot wait for next year to build on that success!
With 22 gold medals at an event like this, I guess we have some National Champions to recognize!
