Dive Into the Season: A Splashing Start with 2024 CP Team Champs

As the leaves begin to change and the air turns crisp, it can only mean one thing—swim season is officially here! On October 12th, we kicked off our new season with an exhilarating club swim meet that brought together 175 enthusiastic participants from all squads. The energy was electric, and the competition fierce, as everyone dove into the pool ready to make a splash!

One of the most remarkable highlights of the day was the incredible performance of our swimmers, who collectively achieved 353 personal bests! Each tells a story of dedication, hard work, and a relentless pursuit of improvement. From seasoned athletes to newcomers, every swimmer left the meet with a sense of accomplishment, pushing their limits and shattering their own and the coach’s expectations. Special recognition needs to be given to Audrey Thompson and Everett White-O'Neill who each achieved their first Swim Alberta Top 5 Youth Recognition Time Standard. Additionally, Will Cameron set a new club record with a time of 1:05.84 in the 100M IM event. 

The success of our meet wasn’t just about the numbers; it was also about the spirit of our community. Parents, coaches, and fellow swimmers rallied together to cheer on each participant, creating an atmosphere filled with encouragement and camaraderie. The smiles and high-fives shared at the poolside showcased the strong bonds we've formed, making this club more than just a place to swim—it’s a family.

As we embark on this season, we encourage all swimmers to keep pushing for their goals. Whether you’re aiming to improve your technique, build endurance, or simply enjoy the thrill of racing, there’s a place for you in our club. Remember, every time you step into the pool, you have the opportunity to achieve something great.

A heartfelt thank you to all the coaches, volunteers, and families who helped make this meet a success. Your support and dedication play an essential role in fostering an environment where our swimmers can thrive. We’re excited for what the rest of the season has in store and can’t wait to see even more personal bests achieved!

Let’s keep the momentum going and make this season unforgettable. Here’s to many more races, records, and remarkable moments ahead!
