There were 16 spots available for swimmers born in 1998-1999 (eight boys and eight girls) and 16 spots available for swimmers born in 2000-2001.
The team for Zone 4 is now chosen. Good luck to all of our swimmers in Lethbridge July 26-29.

Special thanks to Karyn Duffy who was the meet manager and put a lot of time and effort into this meet. Also Coach Sharon who is head coach for the Zone 4 team and also put in a lot of time getting this event organized. She still has a lot of time commitment involved with training the Zone 4 team.
