Swim club off to a good start

Hot summer temperatures arrive just in time for swimming season

The official Pharmasave pool  opener on Canada Day kicked off a busy swim season.

The pool opened early June for school swim lessons which includes safety issues and fitness swims, the Swim club and the Tri Club as well as adult fitness swims.

In July we add Red Cross swim lessons, public swims and aquacises. We have already had to add extra swim classes due to demand.

Saturdays there is a free family swim sponsored by local businesses; this year adults must be accompanied by a child.

Four athletes   from the Keremeos Tri Club have qualified for the BC Summer Games in Surrey. Noah Beglaw, Mackenzie Lawrence, Kassidy Todd and Vanessa Harris will compete in three events , an aquathon   (300m swim + 1k run),  a duathlon  (1krun + 5k bike +  1k run) and a triathlon (400m swim + 10k bike + 3k run). They will compete in all events over two days. They have been training hard with at least five training sessions a week. For example on Friday they rode up to Yellow Lake and back.

 

The swim club has 36 kids registered and they work on stroke improvement and fitness each week.
