Swimmer of the Meet
Black and Blue Meet: The Kokanees held their own Black and Blue Meet in June. This club fun meet is often the first ever chance at racing for a majority of our swimmers. The Kokanees were divided into two teams (one black and one blue) and they competed in all the regular swim meet races. This year when all the points were tallied the Blues had won. Eric Ogrinc and Dylan Adams had fantastic swims and earned the honour of Swimmers of the Meet. Twenty-seven Kokanees attended this meet.
Lumby Invitational – The Kokanees sent four swimmers to the Lumby Invitational Meet on June 18 & 19. Emily Allison earned 100 per cent best times in all of her swims and even won some of her heats, which earned her the honour of Swimmer of the Meet. Nicholas Cimbaro, Charlie and Kate Allison also attended.
Swimmers of the Meet receive a certificate and surprise fruit decorated by their coach.
