Elementary Junior Swim Meets

Another great year of junior swim meets taking place at Jimmy Thompson Pool and McMaster University. Seven meets were conducted on November 5, 7, 12 and 14th with over 1,100 competitors from 62 schools taking part. A participation event by nature, this is always a great event for our students to get involved with a team at their school.

Senior swim meets are just around the corner with practice beginning in March and the meets being planned for late April / early May.
